RTA to run upgraded CommuterLink buses between Riverside and Orange counties

Starting July 1, 2010, neighboring Riverside Transit Agency will re-number bus route 149 to 206 and begin using CommuterLink express buses with more comfortable seating and a higher fare of $3.00 — doubling the previous fare of $1.50 for riders within Riverside County, and adding $0.10 for riders traveling between Riverside County and Orange County. It will continue to run its existing route between Orange, Corona, and Riverside.

RTA's announcement included an interesting "system map" of its express CommuterLink buses, which attractively brings together Riverside County's far-flung suburbs (see below). It reminds me of the Transit Coalition's A Better Inland Empire campaign, which proposes bus rapid transit and rail improvements to sprawling San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

Route 149 used to terminate at Disneyland. Does anyone know why this changed?
