One of the most convenient things the City of Los Angeles has is the Flyaway bus system.

The Flyaway is a low-cost bus service that takes travelers from Van Nuys, Westwood, Union Station, Expo/La Brea to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). I use the Flyaway bus service out of Van Nuys.

Starting tomorrow, the Flyaway bus service will take people from Santa Monica to LAX.

CBS-Los Angeles reported:

SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) — The city of Santa Monica Monday announced a new, low-cost bus service providing transportation directly to LAX. 

The FlyAway shuttle will begin hourly operation Tuesday. Buses will run from 5:45 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. daily, including weekends and holidays. 

Buses will depart from LAX and the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, 1875 Main Street, 15 minutes before each hour. 

“The new FlyAway bus service will give Westsiders a convenient and cost-effective way to get to and from LAX,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. 

A one-way fare is $8, with children five years and under free.

I have found the Van Nuys Flyaway very convenient as I can leave my car at the Flyaway parking structure for only a few dollars a day and be taken to and from LAX in a comfortable bus.
