A MAJOR Transportation Change Is Hitting Disneyland Resort

The Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) is stopping operations. The transportation service, which transports nearly 8 million riders a year, will end services after March 31st, 2026. 

The bus service, which serves the Disneyland Resort area, has been providing public transportation since 1995, so this is a big loss for the area. According to the Orange County Register, the ATN has experienced financial hardships for the last few years.

According to Fred Whitaker, the board’s legal counsel, the governing board voted unanimously to “conduct an orderly wind-down.” The announcement of the closure came on January 29th, 2026. In addition to the ATN’s buses that service the Anaheim area and Disneyland Resort, the service also has routes to the ARTIC station, Platinum Triangle, downtown Anaheim, and Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station.

Previously, city leaders have stated the service is “critical for area tourists and employees.” The service has faced financial issues over the last few years. The ATN get recieves funding from hotels that pay into the system based on rooms and rider fares. It previously increased what hotels paid annually. Officials have shared that more than 70% of the operating costs go to labor.

In a statement from the Board of Directors, they shared, “For nearly three decades, the Anaheim Transportation Network 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.”

The city of Anaheim previously considered taking over operations, but city officials have confirmed that they are no longer considering that option. City spokesperson Mike Lyster said, “No one should be concerned about any upcoming visit to our city. Anyone who’s been to our theme parks knows the high level of service getting from parking to the gates. We have every confidence that will continue.”

Disneyland officials have shared that they are “actively exploring” the next steps after this loss of transportation in the city. The network has a total of 74 vehicles with roughly 66 drivers between 2 shifts a day.

Mike Lyser said they will “continue to look at innovations in transportation and options to connect our transit center in the Platinum Triangle to the resort area. That exploration, while in early stages, is ongoing.” Be sure to keep following AllEars for more Disney news and updates.
