It is the job of city government to enhance the lives of their residents. One way this is accomplished is through public transportation. For many reasons, it is not always easy to own a car. There are two different services that provide transportation for Alhambra’s citizens. One is Senior Ride, a free service offered by the Office of Parks and Recreation for passengers who are elderly and disabled to transit anywhere in Alhambra for any purpose and two miles beyond Alhambra borders for medical appointments. For more information or to register to participate, please call 626-289-7433 or visit cityofalhambra.org/346/Senior-Ride-Transportation-Service.
The other transportation option is the Alhambra Community Transit (ACT) bus. For only 25 cents, this fixed-route bus service connects riders to important public places including our schools, parks, shopping centers, restaurants, movie theater, banking, from and to auto repair shops, and government facilities such as the court house, city hall, library, and police station.
ACT also connects students and other passengers to Cal State University Los Angeles, the Metrolink Station, and MTA Busway. All ACT vehicles are lift-equipped to accommodate passengers with special needs. For more information about ACT call (626) 289-1220 or Google ‘Alhambra ACT bus’ and get into the ACT.
