Minibus Transportation
The GRF Minibus system provides convenient shuttle bus service seven days a week anywhere in the LW community and the adjoining Seal Beach Village (Dollar Tree) shopping center. Service hours are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-6:15 p.m.; Saturdays from 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sundays from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; and holidays from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
On weekdays, four shuttle routes provide passenger services during the peak daytime hours of 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. to nearly every street and most carport areas in Leisure World.
A special “on-call” demand shuttle is available weekdays during non-peak hours from 2-6 p.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday.
GRF Minibus shuttles are easily recognizable by their distinct blue-and-white stripes. Passengers may board a Minibus from any safe curbside location along any Minibus route by simply waving at an approaching bus.
Fixed-route weekday Minibus shuttles are identified by large block letters on all four sides of each shuttle. The Minibuses on weekday shuttle routes are identified by the letters A, B, C and D; on weekends and holidays by the letter D.
Every weekday-scheduled Minibus route will make stops at the following locations: Main Gate Bus Depot, Health Care Center, Leisure World Library, Clubhouses 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, as well as the Amphitheater bus hub and the Seal Beach Village shopping center.
On weekends, there are buses at these locations at 15-minute intervals between 8:45 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Each Minibus route loop is about 40 minutes with a five-minute layover at the Health Care Center. Most passengers will have an 18-minute or shorter ride on the weekday routes to their destination.
Special dedicated, appointment-based Access bus service is available for passengers with mobility challenges or those who need a wheelchair-accessible bus. Access service is available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-3:15 p.m. and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 8 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Appointments for the Access service can be made up to three days in advance by calling 562431-6586, ext. 379.
