The Los Angeles Metro Bus is the transit bus service in Los Angeles County, California, operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). Metro Bus operates in the Los Angeles Basin, the San Fernando Valley, and the western San Gabriel Valley, serving a population of approximately 10 million people.{{Cite web |date=2024 |title=2023 Annual Agency Profile - Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (NTD ID 90154) |url=https://www.transit.dot.gov/sites/fta.dot.gov/files/transit_agency_profile_doc/2023/90154.pdf |access-date=2025-05-20 |publisher=Federal Transit Administration}}
Metro Bus provides the main local bus service in the city of Los Angeles, and regional services across its service area. Metro Bus services connect with multiple other operators in the region, providing connections at an extensive network of transit centers, many of which are located at Metro Rail stations and regional destinations. {{As of|2024|12}}, there are 116 Local, Rapid, Limited, and Express routes in the system, excluding Metro Busway routes.

History
= Early 1990s: Founding of the LACMTA =
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, abbreviated as Metro, was founded in 1993 from the merger of the Southern California Rapid Transit District and the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission. It was charged with financing and constructing a rapid transit rail system, operating the bus system, and coordinating other transportation programs in the region. The conflicts that had occurred between the RTD and the LACTC persisted as internal conflicts within Metro, with union leaders arguing that former LACTC staff received better benefits than former RTD staff, even after the merger.{{Cite web |last=Zamichow |first=Nora |date=1993-12-07 |title=Katz Says MTA Lacks Strategy on Transit |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-12-07-me-64893-story.html |access-date=2024-05-27 |work=Los Angeles Times}}
The ongoing conflict over funding rail construction and bus services continued at Metro. Only months after the agency's founding, Metro CEO Julian Burke presented a proposed budget for fiscal year 1994 to the agency's board of directors. The proposed budget would halt progress on the Union Station–Pasadena segment of the Blue Line to support continued bus operations and rail construction. Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan strongly criticized the plan, and at his insistence, the board directed Metro staff to continue planning for the Pasadena Blue Line, causing Metro to look for other sources of funding.{{Cite book |last1=García |first1=Robert |title=Running on empty: Transport, social exclusion and environmental justice |last2=Rubin |first2=Thomas A. |date=2004 |publisher=Bristol University Press |isbn=978-1-84742-600-0 |editor-last=Lucas |editor-first=Karen |chapter=Crossroad blues: the MTA Consent Decree and just transportation |doi=10.2307/j.ctt1t89876}}
Metro proposed a large bus fare increase in June 1994, to take effect on September 1st of that year.{{Cite journal |last=Grengs |first=Joe |date=2002 |title=Community-based planning as a source of political change: The transit equity movement of Los Angeles' bus riders union |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/229729086 |journal=Journal of the American Planning Association |volume=68 |issue=2 |pages=165–178 |doi=10.1080/01944360208976263 |issn=0194-4363 |url-access=subscription |access-date=2025-04-23|id={{ProQuest|229729086}} }} The fare for a single bus ride was proposed to increase 23% from $1.10 to $1.35 (${{Inflation|index=US|value=1.1|start_year=1994|r=2}} to ${{Inflation|index=US|value=1.35|start_year=1994|r=2}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US}}),{{Inflation/fn|US}} and all monthly passes were planned to be eliminated. A 2004 analysis found that the average monthly bus pass user took approximately 100 trips per month, which would have caused a fare increase of over 50% for the average passholder.

On August 31, 1994, a class action lawsuit was filed against Metro by a coalition of local and national civil rights organizations, representing Los Angeles bus riders. The civil rights organizations, including the Bus Riders Union, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Korean Immigrant Workers Advocates, supported by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The plaintiffs argued that Metro's large subsidies for rail construction and operation discriminated against bus riders, whose demographics were significantly different than those of rail riders. The court delayed the fare increase, and after nearly two years of discovery proceedings, the case was settled before it went to trial.
The consent decree that resulted from the settlement required Metro to significantly expand bus service.{{Cite book |url=https://libraryarchives.metro.net/DPGTL/longrangeplans/2001-draft-long-range-transportation-plan.pdf |title=2001 Long Range Transportation Plan for Los Angeles County |date=2001 |publisher=Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority |pages= |chapter=Metro Rapid Program}} One product of the consent decree was Metro Rapid, a brand of limited-stop bus service with some characteristics of bus rapid transit. A delegation from the Los Angeles city government, including Mayor Richard Riordan, visited the Brazilian city of Curitiba in early 1999. The civic leaders were impressed by Curitiba's comprehensive bus rapid transit system, the Rede Integrada de Transporte, and sought to replicate it. By the summer of 1999, planning was underway for a pilot program of bus rapid transit service on two corridors: Wilshire Blvd/Whittier Blvd and Ventura Blvd.{{Cite report |url=https://libraryarchives.metro.net/DPGTL/eirs/WilshireBRT/2010_draft_eir_ea_app_i_demonstration_program_report.pdf |title=Final Report: Los Angeles Metro Rapid Demonstration Program |last=Transportation Management & Design, Inc. |date=March 2002}}
In addition to Metro Rapid service, Metro expanded local and express bus service, purchased hundreds of new buses, and lowered bus pass prices.{{Cite report |url=https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/67540 |title=Measuring equity in public transit service: LA Metro and the Post-Decree Era |last1=Brozen |first1=Madeline |last2=González |first2=Silvia R. |last3=Butler |first3=Tamika |date=December 28, 2022 |publisher=Pacific Southwest Region University Transportation Center |docket=PSR-21-51TO054}} Metro Rapid service on the two pilot corridors began in June 2000, opening on the same day as the Red Line extension to North Hollywood. Both lines were immediately popular, generating ridership growth of 25% in their first 90 days of operation. Travel time was improved by over 20% on both lines, aided by the signal priority at intersections in the City of Los Angeles. Customer satisfaction increased relative to the previous local and limited-stop bus services, and the Rapid service quickly captured over 60% of bus ridership on both corridors.{{Cite report |url=https://libraryarchives.metro.net/DPGTL/eirs/WilshireBRT/2010_draft_eir_ea_app_i_demonstration_program_report.pdf |title=Final Report: Los Angeles Metro Rapid Demonstration Program |last=Transportation Management & Design, Inc. |date=March 2002}}

California transit ridership began declining in the early 2000s, with a large share of the decline coming from the Los Angeles region. A 2018 study attributed some of the decline to rising car ownership among passengers, and also highlighted the effect of bus service cuts across the region. From 2007 to 2013, bus service in miles traveled dropped 13% across the entire Southern California Association of Governments region, which extends beyond Los Angeles County.{{Cite report |url=https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0455c754 |title=Falling Transit Ridership: California and Southern California |last1=Manville |first1=Michael |last2=Taylor |first2=Brian D. |last3=Blumenberg |first3=Evelyn |date=2018-01-31 |publisher=UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies |access-date=2025-05-20}} In addition to the 2018 study's hypothesis, a 2024 study argued that some of this decline was due to the high cost of housing in areas of Southern California that had better access to public transport.{{Cite journal |last1=Manville |first1=Michael |last2=King |first2=Hannah |last3=Matute |first3=Juan |last4=Lau |first4=Theodore |date=December 2024 |title=Neighborhood change and transit ridership: Evidence from Los Angeles and Orange Counties |journal=Journal of Transport Geography |language=en |volume=121 |pages=104048 |doi=10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2024.104048|doi-access=free |bibcode=2024JTGeo.12104048M }}
Metro introduced the Transit Access Pass (TAP) fare payment system in 2008, creating a single fare card for most buses and trains in Los Angeles County. TAP replaced a system of magnetic stripe stored-value cards already in use by some agencies, including Big Blue Bus and Foothill Transit.{{Cite book |last1=Fleishman |first1=Daniel |url=https://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_rpt_10-a.pdf |title=Fare Policies, Structures, and Technologies |last2=Shaw |first2=Nicola |last3=Joshi |first3=Ashok |last4=Freeze |first4=Richard |date=1996 |publisher=Transportation Research Board |isbn=978-0-309-05713-4 |series=TCRP Report 10 |location=Washington, D.C |chapter=Appendix A: Transit Applications of Emerging Fare Developments |chapter-url=https://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/tcrp/tcrp_rpt_10-e.pdf}} In 2018, TAP fully replaced the previous system of paper interagency transfers, offering discounts on rides that connected between multiple bus and rail operators.{{Cite web |last=Linton |first=Joe |date=2017-11-22 |title=Proposed 2018 Metro TAP Changes Are Effectively A Minor Fare Hike |url=https://la.streetsblog.org/2017/11/21/proposed-2018-metro-tap-changes-are-effectively-a-minor-fare-hike |access-date=2025-05-20 |work=Streetsblog Los Angeles}}

At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in California, Metro Bus services were cut to approximately 80% of 2019 levels. Face masks were required on Metro buses, and passengers were required to board through the back door of buses to support social distancing between bus drivers and passengers.{{Cite web |last=Richardson |first=Hayley |date=2021-03-22 |title=How Los Angeles Advocates Built Power and Won a Major Victory for Transit Riders |url=https://transitcenter.org/how-los-angeles-advocates-built-power-and-won-a-major-victory-for-transit-riders/ |access-date=2025-05-05 |website=TransitCenter}}
The pandemic's impact on public transit affected ridership in Los Angeles and worldwide. In 2021, as transit ridership nationwide began to increase, bus service in Los Angeles regained patronage faster than rail services in the region, and faster than its peers in California. Los Angeles-area transit ridership outpaced Bay Area transit ridership by tens of millions of trips in 2021 for the first time in decades, driven largely by bus ridership. An analysis by the Bay Area News Group showed that the largest bus operators in the Los Angeles region were at 74% of 2019 bus ridership levels in June 2022, far higher than their peers in New York City and the Bay Area.{{Cite web |last=Kamisher |first=Eliyahu |date=2022-08-29 |title=California Sees a Big Shift in Mass Transit Ridership |url=https://www.governing.com/now/california-sees-a-big-shift-in-mass-transit-ridership |access-date=2025-04-23 |work=Governing}}File:LA Metro Bus & Rail System Dec2023.png lines)]]
Routes
{{Split section|List of Los Angeles Metro Bus routes |discuss={{TALKPAGENAME}}#Proposed split of routes section |date=May 2025}}
Metro buses are given line numbers that indicate the type of service offered. This method was devised originally by the Southern California Rapid Transit District, Metro's predecessor.
- Line numbers lower than 100 are local routes to/from Downtown Los Angeles, numbered counterclockwise from least to greatest.
- Line numbers in the 100s are local east/west routes in other areas
- Line numbers in the 200s are local north/south routes in other areas
- Line numbers in the 300s are limited-stop routes
- Line numbers in the 400s are freeway express routes to/from Downtown Los Angeles
- Line numbers in the 500s are freeway express routes in other areas
- Line numbers in the 600s are shuttle/circulator routes
- Line numbers in the 700s are limited-stop rapid routes.
- Line numbers in the 800s are used to designate Metro Rail routes as well as supplementary shuttles for suspended rail service.
- Line numbers in the 900s are Metro Busway routes.
= 1-99 (Local routes to/from Downtown Los Angeles) =
Local bus service to/from Downtown Los Angeles and other areas. The line numbering begins at line 2 (Sunset Bl, a line leading west from USC) and proceeds counterclockwise around Downtown Los Angeles, ending at line 94 (Magnolia Bl).
