(What you Should Know)"},"content":{"rendered":"
When traveling to a new city, one of the most important questions to ask is how will I get around? Thankfully, many cities have public transportation, and Thousand Oaks is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thousand Oaks does have public transportation that extends to local communities. There is no train station in the city of Thousand Oaks, but neighboring cities do have metro stops with buses that run to Thousand Oaks and back. Taxi services are limited, but can be arranged in advance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The organization of the public transportation system in Thousand Oaks serves the family-oriented community well. Whether you’re looking to move there permanently, or if you’re just coming for a visit you’ll be able to navigate the most popular areas of Thousand Oaks with the bus system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Thousand Oaks Transit system is going to be your best bet when it comes to navigating Thousand Oaks through public transportation. According to its website, Thousand Oaks Transit wants to contribute to the community by providing an “inexpensive and environmentally responsible way to travel”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bus routes are designed to provide service to major shopping centers, schools, hospitals, parks, and public facilities. Our buses are equipped with free Wifi service, security cameras for your safety, and bike racks for your convenience.<\/p>Thousand Oaks Transit<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n As a family-orientated community, Thousand Oaks Transit (TOT) provides reliable travel options to popular locations that people of all ages will enjoy. Most routes have buses that run on the hour, which I would say works pretty well for the community. Buses run Monday-Friday from 6 am – 7 pm and Saturday from 9 am – 4 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beginning July 1, 2022, until December 1, 2022, Thousand Oaks Transit has priced fares at 50% off. This makes summer travel accessible to those visiting and locals living in the community. According to TOT, this is what fares will be for those who choose to purchase individual tickets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re looking to purchase a bus pass, TOT has also listed the prices as follows. Again, if you purchase a pass before the end of the year, you’ll only have to pay half price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The largest and most accessible form of public transportation is the bus. Thousand Oaks Transit (TOT) offers five local bus routes and a seasonal bus that runs from Thousand Oaks to Zuma Beach in the summer months. These routes have stops at the most popular locations in the community including restaurants, shopping malls, outlets, parks, schools, and the local universities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Newbury Park (Orange)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Newbury Park route starts at The Oaks shopping mall and features 23 stops throughout the western-most edge of Thousand Oaks and the most popular places in Newbury Park. Newbury Park is a large community within Thousand Oaks, which necessitates that locals and visitors can access it by bus. The Newbury Park bus line is a great way to do that. This line features quite a few stops, but here’s a list of some of the major stops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Midtown A (Green)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This route also departs from the Oaks shopping mall and features 17 stops en route. While having stops through downtown Thousand Oaks, this route also features stops in the more northern parts of Thousand Oaks. Some of which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Midtown B<\/strong> (Purple)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This route features some of the same stops as the Midtown A line like California Lutheran University and Los Robles Hospital, but it also obviously includes a few different stops. While the Midtown A-line features more stops on the south side of Thousand Oaks, Midtown B covers a wider area to the east as well as a few more areas in downtown Thousand Oaks. Some stops include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n TOB Express (Red)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just as the name indicates, this route is an express route that predominantly stays on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The entire route features 23 stops, which gives you the opportunity to everything T.O. Boulevard has to offer. Most of the stops along this route allow you to try a lot of the local restaurants, salons, and shopping areas. This route also stops at City Hall, Westlake High School, The Civic Arts Plaza, and The Promenade at Westlake, which is a popular strip mall that features shopping outlets like Nike and Sephora as well as Barnes and Noble, Sur La Table, and Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crosstown (Blue)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Last, but certainly not least, is the Crosstown line. This line covers the most expansive area of Thousand Oaks as the name suggests, and features stop at popular locations throughout Thousand Oaks and into Newbury Park. This line features stops like the Promenade at Westlake, Colina Middle School, Westlake High School, Biola University, and a direct stop to Amgen in Newbury Park. This route is unique in the fact that only every other bus runs east to include the stops in Westlake before going on to the stops in Newbury Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beach Bus (Seasonal)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nGeneral Information<\/h2>\n\n\n
