Fly In, Fly Out . . . The Big Bear City Airport is a great
asset to the community. The airport is open 365 days a
year, around the clock and is the only airport serving
the mountaintop. Airport services include three fixed-base
maintenance providers, a fixed-base flight school, UNICOM,
charter service and two onsite restaurants. The airport
provides rental hangars, tie downs, auto storage and overnight
parking. A runway improvement project began in April 2004
and is to be completed in October 2004.
It's Easy to Get Around . . . Public transportation
and off the mountain (OTM) service are available through
the Mountain Area Regional Transit Authority (MARTA). MARTA
provides bus service between Big Bear Lake, Crestline,
Lake Arrowhead, San Bernardino and Victor Valley. Local,
daily fixed-route service is available with designated
stops throughout Big Bear. OTM service is provided Monday
through Saturday, with three runs on weekdays and two on
Saturdays. Dial-a-ride is also offered through MARTA on
a year-round basis.
