Transdev announced it will begin operations for Anaheim Resort Transportation’s (ART) 22-route system linking local tourist destinations throughout the Anaheim Resort District and surrounding areas.
ART serves as a critical connection for visiting tourists and thousands of employees who live and work in the area. The company is currently working to ensure a smooth transition when it begins operations on Dec. 1 as peak tourism season begins. In 2015, ART served 6.7 million passengers.
