Valley Emergency Bus Routes

For the duration of the strike, the metropolitan Transportation Authority has established emergency service on seven of the San Fernando Valley’s busiest routes.

There are fewer buses on those lines, however, and MTA officials cautioned passengers to expect to wait twice as long as usual between buses. For example, they said, if a bus normally reaches a particular stop every 20 minutes, buses on the emergency lines will probably arrive up to 40 minutes apart.

The buses also run shorter hours, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. only. All buses on the Valley routes are free except those on the Van Nuys Boulevard line, which costs 50 cents. Source: Metropolitan Transportation Authority
