During the past three months, Monrovia has been operating a shuttle service every Friday and Saturday evening from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. between the Gold Line Station at Station Square and Old Town.
Ridership rates have been monitored since the shuttle first started and, to date, there has been very moderate usage.
Since March 11, ridership on the shuttle has averaged the following levels:
– Friday: averaging 27 riders.
– Saturday: averaging 14 riders.
– Combined: averaging 41 riders.
The city’s weekly shuttle service option connecting the Gold Line Station at Station Square to Old Town Monrovia runs as follows:
– Every Friday and Saturday, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
– From Station Square (in the bus turnaround on Primrose Avenue) to Library Park/Community Center (drop off on Lime Avenue) and back to Station Square.
– The fee to ride the service will be $1, which is in line with other transit service operations. However, please note … the shuttle service will be free upon presentation of any Metro/Foothill Fare media (i.e., Tap Card, Pass, Transfer, etc.).
