The Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN), which operates the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) bus system, has announced it will cease operations after March 31, 2026. The decision comes after years of financial struggles, with rising costs exceeding the ATN's budget. Each year, more than 8 million riders, many tourists heading to Disneyland or nearby hotels, use the ART buses.

Why it matters

The end of the ART bus service will impact Disneyland visitors who have relied on this transportation option to get to and from the park. The city of Anaheim had previously explored taking over the system but decided not to proceed, leaving hotels and resorts to provide their own shuttle and ride options for guests.

The details

The ATN, supported by local hotels and rider fares, has faced rising costs that exceeded its budget. Its board has now voted to wind down the service, citing an "extended evaluation of our current and future financial position and exhausting all options." City officials assure visitors there's no need to worry about reaching Disneyland, as most hotels and resorts already offer their own shuttles and ride options.
