Did you know there is now a New Route 15X Express bus going directly from Victorville to Cal State San Bernardino? 🚌🎓

The bus leaves from the Victor Valley Transportation Center and goes directly to CSUSB, which can make the trip faster because it does not continue through all the additional stops.

The trip takes about 1 hour and 3 minutes going to CSUSB and about 57 minutes coming back to Victorville.

Even better, some students may be able to ride fare-free with a valid college ID, including qualifying students from Victor Valley College, Barstow Community College and CSUSB. Riders who do not qualify should verify the current fare with VVTA. WE think its Regular fare: $6.50 Senior fare: $3.50 each way I was told this but look it up or call VVTA public Route

I’m creating a full video showing the bus station, where to board Route 15X, the schedule and how the student fare program works.
Right now, there are two weekday trips going down the hill and two weekday trips returning to Victorville.

CURRENT ROUTE 15X WEEKDAY SCHEDULE ONLY FOR NOW:

Victorville to CSUSB:

9:30 a.m. departure
10:33 a.m. arrival

12:15 p.m. departure
1:18 p.m. arrival

CSUSB to Victorville:

10:50 a.m. departure
11:47 a.m. arrival

2:00 p.m. departure
2:57 p.m. arrival

POLL QUESTION:
Did you already know about the new Route 15X Express bus?

Poll options:

Yes, I already knew
No, this is new to me
I heard about it, but need details
I would use it for school

And tell me in the comments: Would the current schedule work for you, or do they need earlier morning and later evening trips?

🏠 Thinking About Buying a New Construction Home? Download This Checklist First!

Touring model homes is exciting, but the advertised price may not include everything you see inside the model.

Before you visit a builder, make sure you know what questions to ask about:

✅ The actual home price and lot premiums
✅ Builder incentives and closing-cost credits
✅ Interest rates and rate buydowns
✅ Standard features versus upgrades
✅ Solar payments or lease requirements
✅ HOA fees and special property taxes
✅ Appliances, landscaping, and fencing
✅ Independent inspections and warranties
✅ Construction timelines and possible delays
✅ What is not included in the advertised price

Also, contact your own REALTOR® before visiting or registering with the builder. The sales representative at the community works for the builder, while your REALTOR® can help you compare communities, understand the numbers, ask the right questions, and advocate for you throughout the process.

Getting ready to buy a new home here is what you need to know!
🏠 The Builder Has a Team—You Should Have One Too

Planning to tour new construction homes? Before you visit the model homes or register with the builder, contact your own REALTOR® first.

The sales representative at the community works for the builder. Your REALTOR® can help you compare communities, understand the true cost of the home, review incentives, ask about upgrades, solar, HOA fees, inspections, warranties, and keep track of every important step.

We have helped buyers identify and request available builder incentives, closing-cost credits, and upgrades—but every builder and promotion is different, and nothing is guaranteed.
