Foothill Transit Community News for June
Changes Proposed for Commuter Express Lines
Foothill Transit is proposing significant changes in express service into downtown Los Angeles. The proposal we are submitting for public outreach merges three commuter express lines — the 490, 493, and 499 — with the 498 and 699. Line 495, which starts at the City of Industry Park and Ride, will remain unchanged. Please see the map above. Details of the proposal are here 2026changes.
No changes occur without public input. Foothill Transit held several public workshops and virtual meetings and we still want to hear from you. Comments are due by Friday, June 5, 2026.

Ride Transit Straight to the World Cup Action.
Foothill Transit is part of Metro’s World Cup Enhanced Service. This summer, you can get straight to the World Cup action by riding public transportation — at an affordable price — to Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium).
Take the Silver Streak to Union Station’s Patsaouras Plaza Busway Station, where direct service will be available to every World Cup match at Los Angeles Stadium. On match days, Foothill Transit, Metro, and other regional transit partners will operate nonstop service to help fans get to and from the games with ease. Please note, no Foothill Transit passes accepted on Metro’s World Cup Enhanced Service.
