The Beach Bus service, which connects residents of Antelope Valley to Santa Monica, has resumed operations just in time for the summer season. This affordable transportation option, provided by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, allows families in Palmdale and Lancaster to enjoy a day at the beach for only $6 round trip for adults and children. Seniors and individuals with disabilities benefit from a reduced fare of $2. The service began on Memorial Day and will continue through Labor Day weekend on September 7, operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger emphasized the importance of this service, stating, “Every family in the Antelope Valley deserves a day at the beach.” Given the high parking costs in Santa Monica, which can reach $15 on weekends, the Beach Bus presents an economical alternative for beachgoers. Due to anticipated high demand, especially during peak weekends, residents are encouraged to reserve their seats in advance to ensure a hassle-free trip to the coast.
