Bus from Harbor/Katella to Angel Stadium

[deejdigsdis]

I asked this in another section but there isn't much traffic over there and I need info pretty quickly.

Never used the bus system in Anaheim before.

Can someone direct me to the bus company/ schedule I should be looking at?

Is it safe for 2 older teens to do alone?

How late do the busses run?

Are bus stops clearly marked?

You will need 2 apps for using the Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART) bus system.

The first is Token Transit, which allows you to buy and store your bus pass.

The second is A-way WeGo, which allows you to search routes.

There are 2 things that drive me crazy with this system and I've used it just twice, once last year and again earlier this year.

The first is they don't have busses run constantly throughout the day. If you're riding between 10:30 am and 5 or 6pm, you have to use the On Demand Service. It works ok, but sometimes you'll get an SUV instead of a bus.
The other thing is, it drops a dot where you're supposed to go, but it's not on a bus stop, which is where the busses actually stop. The newer version of the app may be better, but I'm not sure. The bus stops also don't specifically say they're for ART, but the do stop there.

As far as teens riding, I don't think it'd be an issue, once getting on. The busses are really clean and I didn't really see anything questionable on board.

Octa is the orange county bus system. Looks like route 50 that will take you to ARTIC which is near angel stadium. But it is a big parking lot and would not want to wander around late at night. I think I would prefer UBER, there are many in the area and they will take you direct to where you want to go

Wow, that sounds more complicated than it seems like it should be. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks. That parking lot does look really big and not pedestrian-friendly.

It really is. I was very frustrated with it the first time using it, which also was trying to get to an Angels game.

I think the other suggestion of Uber would be better, not sure if they do surcharge pricing for games, but looks like there's a few options around 10 bucks, so that wouldn't be bad. Each kid would pay 6 bucks for a day pass for the bus.
