>>Well, here’s an idea: Starting on Jan. 14, you can ride an express bus route that starts in San Bernardino, goes through Riverside and ends up at Disneyland, directly in front of the park.

And, the best news of all, it only costs $3 each way. A 30-day pass costs $75, and prices are even cheaper for children 46 inches tall and under, seniors and the disabled.

“We expect the service to be very popular,” said Brad Weaver, spokesman for the Riverside Transit Agency, which will operate the buses. “It’s not just for entertainment, it’s also for employees, because Disneyland is a large employment center for our residents.”

Travel time for the Commuterlink Express Bus 200 is expected to be 90-110 minutes, depending on boarding location. Luckily, these commuter link buses have wi-fi, charging ports and comfy seats.<<

Why the route has returned

​

RTA operated a route from San Bernardino to Disneyland from 1989 to 1994 that was paid for by several agencies. But when that funding was reduced, the route was limited from Riverside to Orange, RTA spokesman Brad Weaver said.

​

The route’s return was influenced by a couple of factors, Weaver said. One, there is now Metrolink service to the San Bernardino Transit Center, the first stop where parkgoers can board the train to Disneyland. Second, the opening of carpool lanes on the 215 and 91 freeways, and the extension of the toll lanes to Corona, made true express bus service possible, Weaver said.

​

“The bus to Disneyland, it’s part of our natural evolution and we think it’s time to make this leap,” he said.

​

Weaver would not say exactly what assistance Disney provided, but he said that after RTA officials consulted Disney, RTA became convinced the route would be successful.

​

“We know that there are Disneyland passholders living in our service area. We also know there are Disneyland employees living in our service area,” Weaver said. “We know this is going to be a popular route.”<<
