The MARTA local bus service will drop you off across the street from the hostel at the corner of Big Bear Blvd (Highway 18) and Knickerbocker Rd. (Hostel at 527 Knickerbocker Rd.)

Free shuttle to the hostel often available from all areas in Big Bear Lake.
Call (909) 866-8900

The best spots to hop off the trail are at ONXY SUMMIT on highway 38
or ~5 miles later the trail crosses highway 18.
Many locals know you are PCT hikers and will offer you a ride
since these are 2 of the main roads into Big Bear.

You could also take the PCT to the Cougar Crest Trail and hike 2 miles down to the Serrano campground. This is a crowded campground and reservations are required. They have hot showers I think. But there is nothing much nearby. This hostel is in the village on the other side of the lake. Much more fun!
