Each summer for the past 124 years, Orange County residents have looked forward to the regional fair and this year they seem particularly eager to enjoy the fun. Ridership on the OC Fair Express is up 30 percent so far this summer, with 57,000 boardings in the first four weekends of service.
The OC Fair Express began July 11 and will continue through Aug. 10, providing direct travel to the fair from eight locations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For only $2 each way or the swipe of a valid bus pass, travelers skip traffic and parking hassles and arrive at the fair’s yellow gate fresh and ready to go.
Riders also receive a $3 fair admission coupon that provides a $9 savings off the regular fair admission.
All around, it's a great deal. This year, to make the experience even better, there’s the free OC Fair Express Mobile App. Fair-goers can save time and energy by buying passes, getting schedules, and viewing maps before hopping on the bus. The app is available as a fast and easy download from the OCTA website.
To generate additional interest, OCTA is offering exclusive giveaways such as OC Fair tickets and ride passes on Facebook.
