Summer is finally here and with that also comes beach season. But the hot weather and higher gas prices could discourage residents from exploring Santa Clarita and Southern California. However, residents have the opportunity to get around town and the neighboring region in the comfort of the cool, air conditioned Santa Clarita Transit, which includes the Summer Trolley and beach bus service. No matter where you come from or where you are going, Santa Clarita Transit is committed to provide fast and reliable service.
In addition to various routes that run through Santa Clarita, the city also offers commuter express services that take passengers to and from other neighborhoods, such as North Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, Warner Center, and Century City.
With the city summer beach bus, passengers can easily get to the beach and skip the traffic and parking hassle. The bus goes directly from Santa Clarita to Santa Monica until Sept. 1, and there are numerous departure locations throughout the city, with a fare of $3.
The local Summer Trolley, which has welcomed over 1,000 passengers since it began service in May, will be running through September, and will take passengers to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor, each day for free. The city of Santa Clarita partners with local hotels and tourists destinations. The Summer Trolley offers evening services from hotels to Town Center Drive – home to the Westfield Valencia Town Center, which includes popular attractions like Saddle Ranch Chop House, Black N’ Blue Restaurant, The Dudes Brewing Company, and the Cheesecake Factory, as well as the Hyatt Regency.
