OCTA Launches ‘Bravo!’ Rapid Bus Service

On June 10, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in Orange, CA, launched Bravo!—a new 12-mile limited-stop bus service stretching from Fullerton to Costa Mesa. The new line is designed to help commuters reach their destination more quickly and efficiently.

“OCTA is proud to launch this new service to provide our passengers with a more efficient travel option along one of our busiest routes,” said OCTA Chairman Greg Winterbottom.

To enable passengers to experience the new rapid service, OCTA offered free rides the first three days of operation. The new line has the same $2 fare as OCTA’s regular bus service.

Bravo!, branded with distinctive blue and orange coloring, operates between 5 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays. The new service marks OCTA’s continued effort to improve bus service throughout the county. As the worst of the recession fades, agency officials say they are adding back about 60,000 service hours to strengthen on-time performance and minimize overcrowding on the most heavily traveled routes.
