Westwood FlyAway here

Officials expect 167,000 people to use the new UCLA-to-LAX FlyAway that opened today in Westwood. And (not surprising) the mayor was there for the press conference:

Nonstop FlyAway bus service between Los Angeles International Airport and UCLA began today. The city Airport Commission voted in May to pay $65,000 to the University of California Board of Regents to operate the shuttle service for one year between LAX and the Westwood campus, with two additional one-year options. "This is one-tenth the cost of a cab ride, one-third the cost of a private drop-off and one-quarter of the cost to use a private shuttle van service," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said at a ceremony marking the beginning of the service. "So this is a good thing. With this Westwood FlyAway service, travelers would spend a fraction of the time stuck in traffic and a fraction of the money from their wallets." (CNS)
