Answer
Peak summer typically brings the longest hours and tightest headways on Coastal Highway; shoulder months shrink evening service and may drop certain West OC trips entirely. Memorial Day through Labor Day is the densest window—May and September visitors should verify weekend-only gaps. Holiday event detours can skip stops near the Inlet or Convention Center zone.
