Celebrate Good Times with the OC Fair Express

Everyone’s favorite way to get to the OC Fair is back! Avoid traffic and parking headaches by taking the OC Fair Express direct to the gate, and save on fair admission, too.

From July 15 to Aug. 13, buses will depart from nine convenient locations on Saturdays and Sundays and will provide rides from approximately 10 a.m. to midnight. 

Metrolink riders can connect to the OC Fair Express at the Anaheim Canyon, Santa Ana, Irvine, or Anaheim-ARTIC Metrolink stations. Simply show your valid Metrolink ticket and ride the bus for free. 

OC Fair Express costs $2 each way, or 75 cents for seniors age 60 and up and people with disabilities. You can purchase on board, or in advance with the OC Bus Mobile App.

In addition, OC Fair Express riders receive a coupon for $3 OC Fair admission. With that $11 savings, a fun trip on the OC Fair Express pays for itself.

Join us for the OC Fair Express opening day on July 15 at the Fullerton Park-and-Ride from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. The first 100 people will receive free roundtrip rides and there will be drawings for a prize package that includes an OC Fair tote bag, four admission tickets to the OC Fair (any day), six food vouchers worth $5 each and four VIP passes each good for three rides.
