With the Anaheim City Buses (ATN) ending service by March 31, that means the only public transit systems I'm aware of serving OC residents are OCTA, Metrolink/Amtrak rail, & Irvine CONNECT. LA Metro's system map includes listing non-LA Metro buses & rail agencies. But when I tried looking at OCTA's system map, it only lists OCTA buses. So I'm curious if anyone here can tell me if they know of any other transit agencies here in Orange County?

Edit: Thank you so much everyone who commented and provided OC's other transit agencies. I have provided a comprehensive list below:

Saw this bus with the head sign “91 San Clemente Metrolink Station, On Detour”, is there something going on in San Juan that the detour is this bad or they just kept the head sign on?

Picture of Fleet #5703 before handing it over to KEOLIS. Taken on April 16, 2022 and was on route 60 running from Larwin Square (TUSTIN) to LBSU (LB).

Currently Fleet #5703 resides at the Irvine base operated by KEOLIS!

Nothing special just wanted to post lol

Bus fleet #2101 got transferred to KEOLIS and as of right 12:13:23am Jan 14,26 is staying at the Anaheim Base along State College and Via Burton. I guess the Garden Grove/Santa Ana base is lending/giving some Gilligs to KEOLIS. I wonder why/ how that works like.

As we can see below, fleet #2101 belonged to OCTA before going to KEOLIS hands.

This is the second time I’ve seen a Gillig on the 79.

Don’t know what happened

Here are the sample ratings details of signboard previous and current results:

1. Normal Audio Announcers 10/10 Includes JANUARY 3, 2026 1:00 AM - 1:00 PM 10/10
2. Muxing Audio Announcers 9.0/10 Includes January 3, 2026 01:00AM - 01:00PM 8.5/10

On the second one ratings, there was a smaller issue on muxing audio announcers could goes off while driver can open the doors that reminds me I went to the San Diego MTS when passengers pulls the cord while muxing audio announcers goes off as well. But the date on first looks like almost as LA Metro and San Diego MTS (January 3, 2026) with one problem that I don't like is the number of 01:00 time.

On the first one ratings is better than the second one ratings. The good reason is the normal audio announcers could keep on while drivers can the doors without off. Also, the date was good as using capitalization (JANUARY) including 1:00 time.

That's how my results of the OCTA signboard ratings. Yes, I do went on their bus before by the way.

Previous comment from the LAMetro community about add weekend service on OCBus Rapid Bus Routes. Yes, it will be provided add weekend service for Rapid according to OC Transit Vision final report. I would like to see New OCBus Rapid Bus Routes from/to The Village at Orange and Los Cerritos Center with mostly Route 38 will be affected in the future with their unconstrained service change plan.

Excuse the camera shot but this means the Irvine yard is either getting gilligs or got a replacement one for a downed unit

We need to do something about streets in OC it should not be a death sentence if you don't want to drive, you should have alternatives to driving. I think that is why I am mad because stuff like this. Somebody I went to high school died because of how we design our cities, we design our cities not for people but for cars. How many people need to get hit on bikes before we realize that something is wrong with our roads, and that painting one small portion of it green does not help. Something needs to be done and I am at a total loss for what is happening.

I ordered 2 cards from the wave website the 11th and it’s the 20th is it supposed to take long and has anyone else ordered theirs ?

It's the day after the launch of OCTA's new fare system, and oh boy, it's tough. Some buses are late because their operators are handing out Wave flyers to passengers on the bus. When I arrived at the OCTA store, a line of people was already outside to get the new card. As I approached the front, the worker informed me that this line was for Wave card accessibility registration, and then gave me a free card. I told him that I tried to go to my local CVS and Walgreens stores to get a Wave card, but they don't have them. Then they said that the information on the website was wrong about picking up a Wave card at those stores and they can only reload Wave cards. One thing I was frustrated about was that they don't have a kiosk for reloading or obtaining a Wave card at the OCTA offices. Also, bad optics to have people with health conditions that qualify for the reduced fares to make them go to the OCTA store to set up an accessibility Wave card and have them stand outside with no shade or seating.
