LAX FlyAway Fare to Possibly Increase
The always convenient FlyAway buses that whisk passengers from Van Nuys, Union Station and Westwood Village to LAX and back is not making its revenue back and some city officials would like to see that happen. Although ridership increased 30% in 2007 with some 1.3 million passengers, the system lost $9.5 million in the last fiscal year. Therefore, the Board of Airport Commissioner may vote to increase the fare a dollar or two from the current $4 to $6 price (fare dependent on where you're coming from). Earlier this summer, the morning service schedule from Union Station was bulked up due the popularity of the buses.

Or here's an idea, connect a subway or train to LAX from many more places in LA. And get all those vans off the road. Less congestion? Less pollution? Less travel time? Smarter.

I love using FlyAway and although it sucks to have to pay more, it's still worth it.

$6! damn!
considering it takes at least 30min just to get out of the airport, i'd rather just take the bus.

I'm bummed that they want to raise the price, but the Flyaway is great.
$12 is still a ton cheaper than parking at the airport, taking a taxi or offering gas money to a friend.

I think it's worth $10 each way. It's still faster and cheaper than shuttles, driving, or a taxi.

considering they lost a ton of money and its a steal right now.. a $2 increase is not a big deal. it wouldn't make me think twice about still using it.
