LOS ANGELES - Commuters rejoice! A new bus line is scheduled to begin service to the San Fernando Valley and the Westside this December.
Metro's new Line 788, now named the Valley-Westside Express Bus, will make its way from UCLA in Westwood to Arleta, with two key stops at the Orange Line stations on Van Nuys and Sepulveda Boulevards. The nonstop service will cut 20 minutes in commuting time over the Sepulveda Pass by using the 405 freeway's new HOV express lanes.
The express buses will run on weekdays during peak traffic periods from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., departing every 15 minutes.
Service will begin on Monday, Dec. 15.
