Fares for the FlyAway airport bus service for Van Nuys, Metro Orange Line and Union Station routes to Los Angeles International Airport will go up starting Friday, with one-way rates increasing from $8 to $9.
The rate hikes, approved by airport commissioners, are aimed at reducing the FlyAway bus line’s ongoing deficit by about $1.3 million.
A promotional $7 fare will continue to be in effect for at least the next six months for the newest FlyAway shuttle — a 22-mile route between downtown Long Beach and LAX that began this week.
Hourly service is provided from 5:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily from Shelter A of the Long Beach Transit Gallery at the corner of First Street and Long Beach Boulevard.
FlyAway service is also available from Hollywood, Santa Monica and Westwood/UCLA.
