Public transit, local shuttles and recent changes
Local public transit is provided by Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) buses, which connect Anaheim with surrounding Orange County locations. OCTA routes are useful for some trips but can be slow for airport transfers.
The long-running Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) system permanently ended operations on March 31, 2026; since then, paid replacement shuttles and private operators have started serving specific hotel clusters. These replacement services are not universal, so confirm whether a shuttle serves Fairfield Inn & Suites Anaheim Theme Park / Convention Area before relying on one.
- Check OCTA schedules and routes for public-bus options around Anaheim and Orange County.
- ART ceased operations March 31, 2026 — verify replacement shuttle coverage for your hotel.
- For reliable point-to-point travel (airport or event) consider rideshare, taxi, or a private transfer if shuttle coverage is uncertain.
| Option | Best use |
|---|---|
| OCTA buses | Local and regional travel where time is not tight |
| Paid replacement shuttles | May serve hotel clusters — confirm service and schedule in advance |
| Rideshare / taxi | Fastest door-to-door option, especially for airport transfers or event timing |
