Fly Away Bus - Westwood

Westwood

This route travels from Parking Structure 32 south of the campus of UCLA in Westwood to LAX.

With an adult fare of $10 the Westwood FlyAway runs daily from 6 am to 10 pm (southbound) or 11 pm (northbound). Services are hourly, except every 30 minutes on Thursday afternoon, Friday and Sunday. Parking in UCLA's Lot 32 is offered from 3 pm Friday until 7 am Monday for $7 per day.

The LAX FlyAway in Westwood began operating on June 14, 2007. The Westwood location was the third FlyAway route in the network of non-stop buses to LAX. It has the smallest service territory, serving primarily the UCLA campus and anyone who lives or works in the surrounding communities within a three mile radius including Westwood Village, Brentwood and Century City.

The Westwood route converted to smaller clean-fueled, compressed natural gas (CNG) buses in fall 2008. Free Wi-Fi internet service is available to passengers on these 21-seat CNG shuttles. This is a great benefit for business travelers from the dozens of fortune 500 companies in the area. The buses mostly travel on the congested 405 Freeway, so average travel time can be 45 minutes or longer during peak traffic hours.

During its first year of operation the FlyAway at Westwood transported 105,300 passengers, nearly 10 percent more than the number predicted at the onset of service. The 2008, annual passenger count reported by Los Angeles World Airports was nearly 125,300.
