A Santa Monica bus.

Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus transit authority is encouraging bus users to allow extra time on bus trips on Valentine’s Day this Thursday, citing the romantic day is also a heavy one for traffic on local roads.

On Presidents Day this Monday, Feb. 18, buses will be operating regular hours on all our bus routes, except for Routes 4 and 6. 

Here are a few things to keep in mind that day:

  • Route 4: Will operate via the weekend routing around the VA Hospital.
  • Route 6: All trips cancelled.
  • UCLA riders: Hilgard Terminal will be closed, please use Ackerman Terminal instead.
  • Blue: The Transit Store and Customer Service will be closed, make sure to call ahead for your trip planning questions and/or bus pass needs.

For assistance planning your trip, call Customer Service at 310.451.5444 or visit Big Blue Bus’ Routes and Schedules.
