Palm Springs bus stop in HDR

Back in 2007, I wrote about Sun Transit, the Coachella Valley's fine transit agency. The buses are clean and comfortable, arriving and departing promptly at scheduled times.

The ride is cheap (only $1), and the bus permits you to take your bicycle with you.

A great day trip would be to ride the bus from Palm Springs to the East Valley, getting on and off at locales that interest you.

Taking a tour of Rancho Mirage is one trip you can opt for, stopping at the Cancer Survivor's Park and then having lunch and/or seeing a movie at The River (Highway 111 and Bob Hope Drive).

You have a great choice of restaurants there--Cheesecake Factory, Old Spaghetti Factory (just opened across the street from the complex), Babe's (food's rather sweet tasting if you like that kind of thing) and Baja Fresh (if you want something quick and cheap).
