Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 - 7:30PM at The Hollywood Hill Event Facility
Getting Hollywood professionals to use public transportation is not simple. Expensive cars with comfortable leather seats, sealed privacy, and on-demand efficiency are the norm. We think it may take a similar combination of elements to attract the industry’s thousands of professionals to public transit.
One company has succeeded in building a system to these specifications: Google. Google’s Bus System is such a success it has been profiled recently in The New York Times... explained as an ‘unparalleled transit network’, its bio-diesel shuttle buses are equipped with comfortable leather seats and hi-speed wireless Internet access. It is now the largest private transit network in the entire country.
On July 25th, we will be joined by Google Transportation Manager Kevin Mathy - a key architect of the program - who will be flying down from the Googleplex to give us a rare glimpse into the dynamics behind this engineering feat. Also confirmed to attend are representatives from the L.A. Mayor's office, executives from the L.A. MTA, and representatives from the major film studios who will take part in the post-presentation discussion.
Complimentary Cocktails & Hors D'oeuvres. Pre-order Meal with RSVP.
