Getting around in Malibu

Using the public transportation service

The only public transportation service in Malibu is the MTA buses, running approximately every 15-30 minutes. It is not considered to be greatest way to get around in the city but it's a good option, if you do not own a car.

 

By Bike

To get around the hills of Malibu, previous visitors suggest the MTB bikes, preferably the ones with a full-suspension. It's also a great way to travel inside the city, especially during rush hour.

 

By Car

A car is a must-have in Malibu! Locals rely on their own cars when it comes to travel inside the city, and most of them avoid using the MTA buses, because there are very few and very slow. Driving your car (or a rental) is the fastest way to get around in the city. Drive north on the Pacific Coast Highway (from LA), and through the canyons (from the Santa Clarita area), if you want to treat yourself with amazing views.
