FlyAway Bus Service from Hollywood to LAX Begins

The FlyAway bus system began offering service today from Hollywood to Los Angeles International Airport.

The shuttle will run hourly, leaving at 15 minutes past the hour from 5:15 a.m. to 10:15 p.m. from the southeast corner of Argyle Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, across the street from the Hollywood/Vine Red Line station and the Pantages Theatre.

The one-way fare is $8 for adults and free for children 5 and younger.

“The new FlyAway bus service will give Angelenos near Hollywood a convenient and cost-effective way to get to and from LAX,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said. “This service, along with all our investments in a regional transit system, will make it easier for tourists to get around, easier for locals to get to LAX and will reduce traffic for all of us.”

The new route joins other FlyAway routes from Santa Monica, Union Station, Van Nuys and Westwood to Los Angeles International Airport.

Airport officials estimate that more than 125,000 people will ride the shuttle in its first year of operation.

“The FlyAway service has great potential for successfully encouraging air travelers to use this economical and convenient bus as an alternative to driving private vehicles to and from LAX,” said Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports.
