Which bus do I take, and what route? Also, is Downtown easy enough to navigate for me to go alone with no prior experience here?

Thanks in advance!

@SchMerch36 You can take either Line 24X or 11 from the UCSB Bus Loop to the Santa Barbara Transit Center. Line 24X has fewer stops, and will get you there in about 30 minutes vs. about 50 minutes for Line 11.

Also, Google Maps will show you bus routes and the next available time if you click the bus icon.

Downtown SB is plenty easy to navigate. For the most part, there’s just State Street and one block on each side of the cross-streets. If you are shopping but not parking, you don’t need to use the streets that run parallel to State Street. (Though you should go over to the Courthouse and go up the tower for a nice view.) You can look to see which direction the mountains are, which helps orient you.
