Your student may want to consider taking taking the OCTA bus between the San Juan Capistrano Train Station and JSerra.
There are no age restrictions for students who want to ride the bus. This option is particularly convenient for students who require more travel flexibility after school.
The OCTA offers a 10-minute bus ride (route #91) every 40 minutes that begins just a few steps away from JSerra (bus stop 7078) to the San Juan Capistrano train station. Visit the OCTA Trip Planner for more information.
