The LAnow on-demand shuttle began operation earlier this month.
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) launched an on-demand transportation pilot program earlier this month, reports Mischa Wanek-Libman.
The LAnow on-demand shuttle service is operating in a few neighborhoods on the Westside of Los Angeles, operating around Del Rey, Venice, Mar Vista, and Palms. LADOT General Manager Seleta Reynolds is quoted in the article:
“Our focus remains giving our riders the best experience we can - sometimes that's reliable and steady service. Other times, it means flexibility,” said LADOT General Manager Seleta Reynolds. “LAnow enables transit on demand, when and where people need it most. I am proud that LADOT Transit is pioneering this service as it continues a legacy of providing innovation to those who live, work and visit Los Angeles.”
