OCTA proposes route changes and access concerns
The plan adds and cuts multiple local routes including eliminations and extensions such as adding routes 21 26 29 30 35 37 50 54 56 71 72 79 82 206 211 701 721 while reducing 29 50 54 60 85 and extending 35 37 72 167 and a new Bravo route 529 560. Riders near Access like San Juan Capistrano voice jeopardy if lines vanish, prompting OCTA to offer funding for local circulator buses and reexamine a 2018 fare hike.
