Los Angeles Metro 10-23-2022

Upcoming service changes on Sunday, October 23, will add more frequent service to many Metro bus lines

BY LA METRO , OCTOBER 11, 2022

Metro is making service changes to some bus lines starting Sunday, October 23, to provide riders with more frequent service — so you’ll wait less time for your bus.

These changes are part of our work to restore service to pre-pandemic levels in the coming year. We started adding more frequent trips this past June and we’ll continue to add service in the upcoming December round of updates.

As we did in June, we’re also adjusting some of our bus schedules to reflect today’s traffic levels. For riders, that means more buses will more often arrive on schedule.

These service updates will also help our revamped NextGen bus system live up to its potential by offering more frequent and convenient bus service for many riders. That means riders will spend less time on their commutes — and give them back precious time for everything else in their lives.

We want to thank our riders for their patience during the pandemic as we’ve worked to provide as much service as possible. Your loyalty and patronage is appreciated and we are dedicated to doing everything we can to serve you better. We also thank our bus operators, who heroically worked overtime throughout the pandemic to make sure riders got where they needed to go. We’re grateful for their courage and commitment.

You can find a full list of changes below. You can also check any changes to your bus line or lines at metro.net/mybus – all the new timetables effective October 23 will be posted by Oct. 10.
