Despite two weekends of unseasonable weather, the OC Fair Express closed its five-week run on Sunday, Aug. 16 with another record-setting season. In the last weekend alone, nearly 16,000 riders took advantage of the non-stop service for a direct and cost-effective ride to the OC Fair.
This year’s updates included an additional stop and more frequent service as passengers enjoyed boarding at nine convenient locations every 20, 30, or 40 minutes. In addition, the free OC Fair Mobile App was back for a second year of providing bus pass purchases, bus schedules, and maps from the convenience of a smartphone.
OCTA and the OC Fair have partnered for five years in a row to provide this important transportation service made possible through funding from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC). The OC Fair Express reduces pollution by allowing riders to leave their cars home and enjoy the fair without the worry and hassle of traffic and parking.
