<p>During my SPOP, i'm going without my parents and my SoCal buddies are busy. What's the best way to get to UCI from John Wayne Airport? Shuttle? Bus? Carpool? Taxi? </p>
<p>Is there a specific shuttle that travels between UCI and John Wayne?</p>
<p>I am doing the same thing and staying the night in the holiday inn by the airport the night before SPOP (this is a must because If you are in CHP you have to be there at 7:30 the next morning). Anyways, the holiday inn offers free shuttle to/from the airport and to/from UCI (hotel is comparably affordable too!) I’ll just need to find a way back to the airport after SPOP (cab, bus, walk, new friend with car 
Hope this is helpful!</p>
<p>probably can use the bus. i figure the hotels their would have some free transportation services. uci is a major destination, make sure to call and ask. see if you can share a taxi with some other people to save cash…</p>
<p>If you’re planning on taking the bus, either be prepared to walk a bit or transfer buses if you’re lazy.</p>
<p>If you want direct service without tranfers, your options are either the 178 or the 59 bus at Von Karmon and Michelson, which is roughly a mile away. Now if you want a bus that goes into the terminal, you would take the 76 bus, and followed by the 178. Since I haven’t figured out a way to walk to the street from the airport, and I have a bus pass, I have gotten used to transferring buses.</p>
<p>If you want to see bus schedules, the website is [here[/url</a>]. Otherwise, you can use [url=<a href=“http://www.google.com/transit]Google”>www.google.com/transit]Google</a> Transit](<a href=“http://www.octa.net%5Dhere%5B/url”>www.octa.net) to plan the trip</p>
<p>There is no direct bus route to and from John Wayne airport to UCI, so be prepared to transfer buses (though the cost is cheaper than a cab or shuttle). The cost for a cab and shuttle is about the same. It’s about a 10 minute ride by shuttle / cab.</p>
