About travel from 29 Palms to Fresno

Travel from 29 Palms to Fresno?
Does anyone know a cheap way to get to Fresno, CA from Twentynine Palms, CA? My brother in law is at the marine base and will have Memorial weekend off. His wife and the rest of our family all live in Fresno and would like him to come visit us for the holiday as he hasn't seen any sights in CA outside of the desert where he's training. The problem is, we've been driving up and down every weekend and would like to know if there is a better solution. Bus, train, etc. All thoughts are appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1 :
29 is kinda bumblebutt nowhere, but I'm sure you know that already. According to the 29Palm chamber of commerce there are very limited options. Here's the link: http://www.29chamber.com/Transportation.46.0.html Maybe he could bum a ride into Palm Springs and take Greyhound from there? Or Amtrak? http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak It doesn't look too cheap and it's definitely not fast. Getting to Palm Springs will be the first hurdle. I think there is the Morongo Basin Transit Authority. From Palm Springs it'll be either the bus or the train. Good luck! I hope your Marine gets to see a bit more of California than 29 Palms and Joshua Tree!! Drive him back to base via Vegas!! (Maybe save that for another time. LOL)
