Orange County Transportation Authority

With ever rising fuel costs, this is the time to discover a more affordable way to get around. You may not have paid much attention to buses circulating across town on a daily basis, but these days more people keep asking, “Where do they go?”

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) operates a comprehensive system with several key routes intersecting at the Brea Mall. There are also two express routes, which make stops there in utilizing the 57 Freeway to connect Inland Empire riders all the way to either Santa Ana or the Irvine Spectrum.
