A New Shuttle At Griffith Park Will Take You From The Zoo To The Observatory For Free | LAist

Starting Saturday, Dec. 7, the Griffith Parkline shuttle will transport visitors between 12 stops throughout the park for free.

"For the first time in its 123-year history, visitors can access all that Griffith Park has to offer without once needing a car," said city councilman David Ryu.

The Griffith Parkline will run from noon to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and pick up passengers every 15 to 20 minutes. The green-and-white buses are equipped with bike racks and are ADA accessible with seating for 25 people.

Here is a list of the shuttle stops and nearby attractions:

DASH bus stops are already in place at the Griffith Observatory and at the Greek Theatre and connect to the Vermont/Sunset Red Line Station. Those run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends, as well as noon to 10 p.m. on weekdays. The new shuttle system is part of a yearslong effort by Ryu and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti to expand car-free access to Griffith Park. Paid parking near the Observatory helped fund the shuttle, according to the press release.
