There is no bus service to Parma.  The MTD Route 14 and Route 20 bus both run on Coast Village road with a stop at Hot Springs Road.  The Parking lot behind Von's may make a good meet spot.  You can get there from East Beach through Carpinteria.  Unfortunately, the Costal Express Bus doesn't stop there.  It goes directly to the Transit Center on Chapala Street.

From Carpinteria to Santa Barbara, take the MTD Route 20 bus.  Route 20 has both local and express routes.  Local 20 follows the frontage road past the polo fields, gets on the freeway at Summerland, and off again at Coast Village.  It will service all regular stops along the 101 frontage from the Upper Bates overpass through Summerland.  The bus stop signs will be posted with a "20".  The various express routes get on the Freeway at Santa Clause Lane, and may bypass Summerland, Montecito, and Milpas (check the schedule).   The local runs about once an hour on weekends and every 45 minutes on weekdays.  You can take the VISTA Costal Express, but it won't stop until the Transit Center on Chapala.

Carp also has unscheduled trolley service every 15 to 30 minutes depending on the time of day.  Ask for a transfer.

From Montecito, the MTD Route 14 bus runs along the SB beach front and loops up to 192.

From Ojai to Ventura, take the SCAT Route 16 bus.  Ojai also has scheduled trolley service every hour.

From Ventura to Santa Barbara, you want to take the Costal Express Bus.  It's an express bus, so it has limited stops.

From Piru through Santa Paula,  you can call "Dial a Ride" for a lift to the VISTA Hwy 126 bus to the Ventura Pier.

From Wells Road (Saticoy), take either the SCAT Route 10 to the Pacific View Mall, or the VISTA Hwy 126.  to the Ventura Pier.

From Ventura Harbor, take the SCAT Route 12 bus to the Pacific View Mall for transfer.
