Commute santa clarita to ucla

Hi everyone,

I’m considering moving from Houston to LA this summer, but I’m unsure which area would be the best fit for our family (we have two young kids). Santa Clarita and Valencia seem like nice places to live, but I’ll be working at UCLA.

I’ve read some articles about the commute, but I couldn’t find much recent information. If we decide to live there, I’d probably take the bus instead of driving. Does anyone know if the buses are typically crowded during morning and evening commutes?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights!

Thanks in advance!
