GLENDALE -- The transfer of Metropolitan Transportation Line 177 to La

Canada Flintridge and Glendale went off without a hitch.

Now called Route 3, bus service takes riders from Jet Propulsion

Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge to the Glendale Galleria as part of

the Glendale Beeline system.

Buses run every 30 minutes between the Glendale Galleria and JPL.

Sections between the mall and Glendale Community College will offer

service every 15 minutes.

Glendale will receive $245,700 annually from MTA to help defer

operating costs and in turn pay $281,372 toward incurred costs on Route

3, while La Canada Flintridge's portion is $198,198.
