Foothill Transit Keeps LA Rolling on Veterans Day
Foothill Transit maintains regular weekday service on Veterans Day, unlike neighboring agencies
Foothill Transit Keeps Regular Service Veterans Day
Foothill Transit will operate all bus routes on regular weekday schedules Veterans Day, November 11, transit officials said. The agency's Transit Stores will also maintain normal hours during the federal holiday. The decision affects riders across the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, where Foothill Transit serves approximately 1.9 million people across 327 square miles.
Different Approach Than Neighboring Agencies
Foothill Transit's decision to maintain regular service contrasts with neighboring agencies' holiday policies, according to the transit system. LA Metro and Orange County Transportation Authority typically operate Sunday schedules on Veterans Day, resulting in reduced service frequencies. Officials announced the Veterans Day service plan November 5, providing riders advance notice. The agency carries approximately 14 million passenger trips annually across its service area.
No Schedule Changes Required
Riders won't need to adjust their usual travel plans for the federal holiday, transit officials said. All regular weekday routes will operate on their standard timetables throughout November 11. Officials didn't specify whether ridership typically increases or decreases on Veterans Day compared to regular weekdays. The agency said maintaining regular service ensures commuters and residents can rely on consistent transit access during the holiday.
Service Continues Without Modifications
The regular service will be in effect for the full day November 11, officials confirmed. Transit Stores will open at their standard times, though officials didn't provide specific operating hours in the announcement. The agency hasn't said whether additional staff will be deployed to handle potential holiday travel patterns.
Planning Holiday Travel
Riders can plan trips using their regular weekday schedules for Veterans Day travel, according to the transit agency. Officials said no special accommodations or schedule adjustments are necessary.
