Beginning Sunday, December 11, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will be restoring its bus services to full service levels, with improved frequencies as designed in Metro’s NextGen Bus Plan. These changes will restore Metro bus services to pre-pandemic levels.
Specifically, Metro will add 300,000 revenue service hours back into the bus network. A total of seven million annualized revenue service hours will now be in effect for Metro bus customers.
“It has been a goal of mine as well as the entire Metro Board to restore the level of service enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of customers each day to where it was before the pandemic,” said Glendale City Council Member and Metro Board Chair Ara J. Najarian. “We encourage those who may have left us to try our system again to more easily reach their daily destinations.”
“We are pleased to restore our bus service to a full seven million revenue service hours based on our NextGen Bus Plan,” said Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins. “It has been a herculean effort to recruit, hire, train, and deploy the operators necessary to get to this point, and I applaud the work of Metro’s Operations, People, and Customer Experience teams to make it happen. Most importantly, I am grateful for our front-line bus operators who have delivered high quality bus service throughout this period.”
Additionally, there are a small number of bus route changes primarily in the San Pedro, Wilmington, and Harbor City communities that will take effect along with changes to San Pedro’s LADOT DASH services.
