At least one confirmed reservation is required for the bus to travel to Redding, Reno, and Klamath Falls.

To make a reservation* for any of our intercity routes, call our office at (530) 233-6410, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
*The Sage Stage Bus does NOT run on weekends or the following Holidays: Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
Please make your reservation at least one business day in advance to guarantee your trip.
We do our best to accommodate calls for same day trips.
If there is space available, we will accept passengers who walk on at one of our main bus stops – Alturas Rite Aid, Susanville Walmart and Burney McDonalds. All other stops are by reservation only.
However, at least one confirmed reservation is required for the bus to run. So we highly recommend that your call ahead.

Sage Stage buses will pick up at designated bus stops or at “flag stops” along the route where it is safe to stop.
Please note that our major stops are signed with the sign shown here. However many of our stops in outlying areas are not signed. If you are unsure of the designated bus stop location, please ask when you call to make your reservation.
If you wish to be picked up at a location other than a designated stop, please make arrangements when you call to make your reservation.
