Riding the Bus to School

Several routes serve local high schools. Scroll down and find your school to learn more!

Taking public transit to and from school is an excellent option for those whose schedules do not coordinate with their school's bus schedule, or live outside of the school district's transportation network. GCTD is clean, reliable, safe and serves many of the local colleges, high schools, and middle schools throughout Western Ventura County. Find your school below and see which bus routes GO there. Our friendly Bus Operators are happy to assist students and our Customer Service Center is available to help plan your trip. Best of all, starting August 15, 2022, YOUTH RIDE FREE. Anyone aged 18 and under, or over 18 but enrolled in High School, will be free to ride on GCTD fixed-routes buses. To plan your trip, you can call us at (805) 487-4222, use our Google Trip Planning tool, or download the GOVC bus app to find the nearest bus stop and route near you and your school.

Route 18 - School Tripper Service

School Tripper buses (Route 18) are added to specific routes during the school year to prevent overcrowding due to an increase in student ridership. Students can use this service in addition to our fixed route bus service to get to their school. School Tripper service is a limited-stop service that is coordinated with the school's morning and afternoon bell schedule, in addition to early dismissal days. This service is open to the public.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to current staff shortages, these schedules are not always guaranteed. It is best to call our Customer Service Center in advance of your trip or check real time schedule information here.
