Understand

[edit]

The city's name is Latin for "pleasant place to live."

Get in

[edit] '"`UNIQ--maplink-00000002-QINU`"'Map of Placentia (California)

By car

[edit]

The CA-57 Orange freeway runs north-south through the city. The CA-91 Riverside freeway is only a mile south of the city and runs east-west.

By bus

[edit]

Orange County Transportation Authority offers bus service.

Get around

[edit]

The only reliable way to get around Placentia is by car. Buses are notoriously slow and have few stops, and because of this, few locals use them regularly, causing a vicious cycle in which this leads to services being only minimally offered.
