Spirit Bus
LINK Shuttle Will be Discontinued as of July 1, 2026
Beginning July 1, 2026, The LINK route will be discontinued as part of the City’s ongoing efforts to streamline and enhance local transportation services. Riders can continue traveling along the same corridor by using Spirit Bus Route 5, which mirrors the LINK route while also providing extended connections to the Metro E Line and East Los Angeles College (ELAC). MPK Transit Express will also continue offering flexible, on-demand transportation throughout Monterey Park and surrounding destinations.
