Available Monday through Friday from 5:30 to 19:00, the pilot sought to increase ridership on the light rail system and decrease car use for accessing the rail station or driving to Denver. The programme is currently (Spring 2017) under evaluation having run its initially planned course. Bus service was costly in those areas and in August 2016 LA VTA shut down an underperforming bus line1 with an eye to replacing it with ride-sourcing and taxis.
