| WHY: | The launch of the new bus service is part of OC Bus 360°, a strategy to better meet the needs of Orange County bus riders and enhance ridership. This is the third Bravo! limited-stop route OCTA has launched since 2013. The new Bravo! Route 529 will run between the Fullerton Park-and-Ride, near the intersection of the I-5 and SR-91 freeways, making stops by popular destinations such as Knott’s Berry Farm, to the Golden West Transportation Center, across from Golden West College in Huntington Beach. Compared to the normal Route 29 along Beach Boulevard, the Bravo! route gives commuters an average travel time savings of 10 minutes. The new route makes fewer stops – 13 stops compared to the typical 34 stops – and connects with 12 other major bus routes along the way. |
