ART Bus Shutting Down Operations, Impacting Disneyland Visitors

For nearly 30 years, the Anaheim Transportation Network – better known to visitors as the ART bus – has been part of the travel logistics that make a Disneyland Resort trip easier. From hauling tired parkgoers back to nearby hotels to giving Cast Members and local employees a reliable commute, ART has filled a gap between walking distance and rental cars.

That era is coming to a close.

The Anaheim Transportation Network has announced it will begin a wind-down of operations, with all service concluding on March 31, 2026. According to the organization, the decision comes after an extended review of its financial position and future sustainability:

For nearly three decades, the Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) has supported mobility in the Anaheim Resort—serving residents, employees, and millions of visitors.

After an extended evaluation of our current and future financial position and exhausting all options, ATN will begin an orderly wind-down of operations, with conclusion of service on March 31, 2026. This transition will be implemented in a manner to allow for coordination and transparency as services are responsibly concluded.

The ATN Board of Directors appreciates the community’s continued support of the service through the conclusion of operation.


ART has long been especially useful for Disneyland visitors staying along Harbor Boulevard and in surrounding hotel corridors where walking isn’t always practical – particularly late at night, with kids, or after a full park day. Unlike ride share pricing that fluctuates during peak hours, ART offered a flat-fare option tied directly to the Anaheim Resort Area.

Currently, standard one-way adult fares are $4.00, children (ages 3-9) and seniors fares are $1.50, with an All-Day Pass priced at $6.00 for a much better value.

For Disneyland guests planning trips beyond March 2026, this means transportation planning looks a little different. Visitors will likely rely more heavily on walking, ride share services, hotel shuttles if offered, or rental cars. This “wind-down” creates a greater need for more affordable and convenient options transporting guests between area hotels, the theme parks, and other Anaheim-local venues.
