Universal's own buses?

[Smurfy]

Hi everyone

I'm trying to find any information on Universal's own buses that run from Disneyland to Universal. I'm positive i've read it on the forum somewhere that they operate this service but now cant find the thread

If anyone can point me in the right direction or has any information i'd be really greatful

If anyone has any other ideas on the best way to get to Universal from the Anaheim area (C.Cane) that would also be helpfull

Thanks

I visit DL often. I have never seen a bus like this. Not to say they don't exist but I have never seen one operating. For the best way to go there - other than this bus - I would say rent a car for the day. I would think the cab ride would exceed the daily rental rate. Just my opinion as I have never rented a car here or taken a taxi. I bet someone else will know much more than I do ........

I don't think this bus runs anymore, but I could be wrong.
I have been with CoachUSA and also Starline coaches but the only problem is that you have to go and come back at the times that they say, you can't please yourself.

We were there in August and there were no such buses. We drove and it took an hour and twenty minutes to go 31 miles to the park. Made it just prior to opening and parked ajacent to the entrance. Very crowded and hot, but much fun.

Maybe USH has started a new service since we were there.

Depending on how many people you are transporting, renting a car may be the cheapest way to do this. We are flying into LAX and when we added up the cost of transportation to and from the airport for the 5 of us, it was a no brainer to rent a car. Now we have the option of going to the beach, Universal, and the zoo. There are a lot of rental discount codes out there - check mousesavers.com. We snagged a Dollar rental on a van that was a great rate. Good luck.
