Changes Affecting Travel
Closure Dates
On rare occasions, we may need to temporarily suspend all service in the instance of very poor weather or for unplanned city events. We will do our best to notify customers of any service amendments or suspensions via this page online or on our free app. While we do our best to stay on time, please note, we do not have control over traffic, street closures, construction detours, and/or accidents. The times advertised are an estimation of when the bus will depart and/or arrive. Our Beach Shuttle may sometimes deviate from the advertised route in cases where there is heavy traffic in order to stay on time. Refunds will not be provided for this reason. The Hollywood Loop Tour is approx. 2 hours without hopping off and the Beach Shuttle is approx. 1 hour 45 minutes without hopping off.
