I don't think you can get between L.A. and the bay area by continuous
public transit (and the Amtrak and Greyhound connections would not be
considered "commuter service"), but if you want to get pretty far north,
you can get from L.A. to Bishop (and on to Carson City, NV) by public
bus. You have to get to Lancaster first. From Lancaster, you catch
Kern Regional Transit to Mojave, then transfer to a different KRT bus to
Ridgecrest, where there is a connecting bus service operated by the
counties of the eastern Sierra to Bishop ("CREST" = Carson City
Ridgecrest Eastern Sierra Transit). At Bishop, you can continue on to
Carson City, NV, but I think it requires an overnight stay in Bishop.
The service between Mojave and Ridgecrest operates only three days a
week (Mon, Wed, Fri).
