Seeking to shrink a $104 million deficit, the MTA proposes cutting about three dozen underused bus lines — including eight in the San Fernando Valley — while studying a way for local commuters to get to jobs at the region’s studios.
The changes would be implemented by June 24 if adopted this spring by the San Fernando Valley Service Sector, a community-based governance arm of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The proposed changes were triggered by the MTA’s twice-yearly evaluation designed to ensure maximum use of its 2,500-bus fleet, officials said.
