Since 2005, almost the entire bus fleet has been powered by <a href="/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas" title="Compressed natural gas">compressed natural gas</a>. In 2021, 5 hydrogen buses were added to the fleet, with an additional 5 planned for purchase in the future.

However, it co-ordinates with both the city and county, as well as the Kern Council of Governments (which represents most local governments in the county).

However, yearly losses resulted in the city acquiring it in 1956, under the new name Bakersfield Transit Agency. The city made little investments in the system. Already suffering from deferred maintenance from the previous owner, the lack of investment resulted in the system sinking into further disrepair. Operating losses were also increasing.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1973, voters approved a measure which established the Golden Empire Transit District. It would take over ownership and operation of the Bakersfield Transit Agency. The new transit district started purchasing new equipment. It also eliminated unnecessary routes. In 1986, the transit authority would undergo its first major alteration in the system. Previously, routes were running in circular routes. The company changed to a crosstown system. Buses operated on linear paths, and generally looped back when the bus needed to change direction. They also operated between transit hubs. The first was located downtown (Downtown Transit Center). Later a second was added at the <a href="/wiki/Valley_Plaza_Mall" title="Valley Plaza Mall">Valley Plaza Mall</a>, in the Southwest (Southwest Transit Center). A third transit center was built in 2011 on Panorama Drive at <a href="/wiki/Bakersfield_College" title="Bakersfield College">Bakersfield College</a>. Golden Empire Transit implemented a new system of routes on October 7, 2012. The system transitioned from a crosstown system to an express/local system. Although the agency divides the system into five categories, it is easier to describe it in three: Express, Rapid, and Local. Express service runs between major destinations on the most direct route. It also makes a limited number of stops. Rapid service runs more frequently than express and makes more stops between end points. Local routes stop most frequently. Routes have been straightened for faster service.<sup id="cite_ref-GET_SHORT_RANGE_TRANSIT_PLAN_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GET_SHORT_RANGE_TRANSIT_PLAN-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2021, GET opened a transit center at <a href="/wiki/California_State_University,_Bakersfield" title="California State University, Bakersfield">Cal State Bakersfield.</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Routes">Routes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Golden_Empire_Transit&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Routes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Local_routes">Local routes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Golden_Empire_Transit&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Local routes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Routes that begin with either a "4" or a "6" are <b>Local routes</b>.
