Metro Bus System
Three types of bus service are available throughout the Greater Los Angeles area. With 200 different lines, buses travel all over the city to every major destination including state parks, area attractions and shopping districts.

• Metro Local (painted orange) makes frequent stops along major streets throughout the city.
• Metro Rapid (painted red) offers fewer stops and expedited travel times on the city’s major streets, with the use of special transponders that cause traffic signals to favor the bus.
• Metro Express (painted blue) offers reduced stop service along the city’s freeway systems.
