New and More Frequent Bus Routes Headed to OC in June

Beginning with the service change on June 12, bus riders will have new and faster ways to travel.

The new Bravo! Route 560 will offer a faster ride from Santa Ana to Long Beach and beyond with connections to Metrolink, Amtrak and major bus routes.  Like its limited-stop predecessor, Bravo! Route 543, this new route will offer less stop and more go to help riders get where they’re going more quickly. Major destinations include the VA Medical Center, Cal State Long Beach and the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center.

Another new route, Route 150, will be added to cover peak and midday weekday service on major portions of Routes 51 and 145.

In addition, service on Routes 50 and 54 will been increased to every 15 minutes.

These are just a few of the bus changes coming next month. Check out the 2016 Bus Service Plan for a complete overview.

The 2016 Bus Service Plan is one component of OC Bus 360°, an ongoing strategy that examines and implements bus system improvements from every angle.
