On Feb. 9, OCTA introduced a new OC Bus service schedule aimed at reducing wait times for riders and improving overall service quality and reliability.
OC Bus ridership is steadily rebounding to near pre-pandemic levels, outpacing both national trends and other Southern California transit agencies. To accommodate the growing demand, this service change introduces enhancements designed to better serve riders. OCTA regularly implements schedule and route revisions to select OC Bus routes four times a year – in February, May, August and November – to ensure service remains efficient and responsive to riders’ needs.
Updates to service include:
- Improved frequencies on Routes 59, 60, 71 and 560
- Schedule adjustments to improve on-time performance and connections on Routes 29, 47, 55, 59, 64, 66, 83, 89, 90, 91, 123, 129, and 543
A major highlight of this update is the introduction of five-minute timed transfers at the Laguna Hills Transportation Center, making it easier for riders to connect between routes and significantly reducing travel times for key trips.
