SUMMER BEACH SHUTTLE BREAKS RECORD

FOR RIDERSHIP

 

            The free summer Beach Shuttle that ran from Memorial Day to Labor Day on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and every other Thursday night for the Marina del Rey Concerts had its best year ever.  Los County Supervisor Don Knabe wants to thank the 6,000 riders that used the Beach Shuttle this summer, increasing ridership by 100% over last year. “The Beach Shuttle is an easy way to navigate the Westside traffic, as well as to avoid the costs of gas and parking,” said Supervisor Knabe.

            You still have one more chance to catch a ride on the Beach Shuttle. On September 28^th, the Beach Shuttle will be providing transportation to the Abbot Kinney Festival from 10 am to 6 pm. Don’t miss this opportunity to come out and have some fun,  leaving the driving to someone else. See you there and bring a friend.

            The Beach Shuttle is provided to the public free of charge courtesy of Supervisor Don Knabe and Playa Vista.
