The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will make service changes to many bus lines starting Sunday, June 26, to provide Metro riders with more frequent and reliable service.
Changes to the bus system will include more frequent service restored to our busiest bus lines as Metro begins the process of returning to pre-pandemic levels of bus service with the hiring of additional bus operators. Metro will continue to restore service over the coming months as more operators are hired.
Riders can check any changes to their bus line or lines at metro.net/mybus – all the new timetables effective June 26 are located at this link. We will also be printing new timetables that will be available later this month on board buses and at Metro Customer Centers.
