With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today . 

Hollywood folks will be able to easily hop on a FlyAway shuttle that will take them to LAX starting on September 3.

Previously, the FlyAway bus would only pick up passengers from Union Station, Westwood, the Expo Line and Van Nuys. A Santa Monica stop was added in July. But starting tomorrow, they can tack on the stop at the southeast corner of Argyle Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard—it'll be right across the street from the Metro Hollywood and Vine stop, according to City News Service.

It'll cost $8 per adult and will be free for children five years old and younger. The bus will stop by the Hollywood stop every hour from 5:15 a.m. to 9:15 p.m., and depart from LAX Terminal 1 every hour from 5:15 a.m. to 10:15 p.m., according to the Flyaway website.

More information about the FlyAway shuttle can be found here.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
