Whether you live in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle or you ride the train into the ARTIC station to watch the Angels or the Ducks play, you can now hop a bus to places to shop, eat and drink – and it’s free.

Run by Anaheim Resort Transportation, the CtrCity/Platinum Triangle shuttle route launched in late October. Stops include the ARTIC station, Center Street Promenade, Packing District and Olive Street.

The transit agency offers other routes that charge riders to get between Disneyland and area hotels, downtown Santa Ana, Buena Park and other spots. The new Platinum Triangle line is free in an effort to get people who live and work in the area to use it, ART spokesman Justin Petruccelli said.

“Most of the people we serve are coming from out of town on vacation, but we’re really working hard to encourage locals to use public transit” to get to and from jobs and entertainment venues, he said.

The agency is specifically eyeing young professionals in the Platinum Triangle, where “there’s a lot of places to live, but there’s not a ton to do,” Petruccelli said.

The shuttle also will eventually serve Leisuretown, a brewery and restaurant project planned to open in 2018.

“We’re really, really excited about the new line,” said Devon Reeves, who represents the Packing District and businesses in the Center Street Promenade.

“We love our local audience. I think it’s a great vessel to transport people and create better connectivity.”

The shuttle may also help alleviate potential parking issues with Leisuretown, which will have limited parking on site and will send employees and some patrons to nearby city-owned lots.
