I’ve never used ART but I’m still sad to see it go. Did everyone know about this and I’m the last one to know?
I just saw if on a Five Fires YouTube video today.
The service is definitely not what it used to be. They are trying, and the bus drivers are doing their best. But it’s one bus per route, so during mid day, it could take upwards of 40 minutes to catch the bus.
I know they cut EVE and FRAN recently. The app could have used a huge update, they’re no longer adding tickets to the app, but instead the drivers have to check your receipt for a valid fare.
It’s a big mess, and instead of cleaning it up, they’re just letting it rot until it dies ![]()
I read it yesterday and was pretty surprised. Although I had made plans to drive after reading so many reviews lately of unreliability. It is going to leave a whole lot of people without transportation to the parks. Hopefully hotels and Disney will do something. Maybe similar to Disney Springs hotels. But, there is not much time before it’s done. Imagine the congestion if everyone has to walk or drive! And the loss of accessibility!
Wow - we are having our convention in Anaheim in April and the ART buses were a big recommendation I made (plus the Toy Story lot) and how I planned on getting to the parks myself. Writing an article about logistics for other people made me realize how important those buses could be to make the difference between going and not going to the park for the evening.
Thanks for sharing! I need to edit my blog…
