Ride Humboldt Flex is an on-demand shared ride service that operates from bus stop to bus stop, which includes existing bus stops and added “virtual” bus stops. It is designed to enhance our fixed route bus systems by offering additional connectivity options within our existing service areas.

Using Flex allows you to plan customized journeys by choosing optimal times and selecting the most convenient bus stops or other approved locations as both your pick-up and drop-off points. However, it’s important to note that Flex is not a door-to-door service. Currently, Flex utilizes dedicated vehicles and open seats on buses in the Dial-a-Ride program to subsidize that service. We aim to grow Flex in the future by introducing more vehicles and potentially extending service hours, based on public interest and available funding.
