Locale Los Angeles County, California
Service type bus service
Operator LACMTA, MV Transportation, Southland Transit, Veolia Transportation

Metro Local is a bus system in Los Angeles County operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). This retronym designation was placed to differentiate it from the Metro Rapid service (before the advent of several Rapids, they were simply known as "Metro lines"). Metro Local buses cover both local, limited-stop, and shuttle bus services.

Metro Local buses are distinguished by their prominent orange color (although a number of older buses still carry the pre-2003 "Metro Bus" colors.)

There are bus lines that are operated under contract with MV Transportation, Southland Transit, and Veolia Transportation.

Metro buses are given route numbers that indicate the type of service offered. This method was devised originally by the SCRTD, Metro's predecessor.

  • 1-99 (00-series, xx): Local bus service to/from Downtown Los Angeles and other areas. The route numbering begins at Route 2 (Sunset Boulevard, a route leading west from downtown) and proceeds counterclockwise around Downtown Los Angeles, ending at route 96 (Riverside Drive.)
  • 100-199 (100-series, 1xx): East-west service, not necessarily serving Downtown Los Angeles.
  • 200-299 (200-series, 2xx): North-south service, not necessarily serving Downtown Los Angeles.
  • 300-399 (300-series, 3xx): Limited-stop versions of traditional local routes, which make fewer stops and generally operate during peak times. Most limited-stop routes are designated by placing a 3 before a main route number (example: the limited-stop version of route 2 is route 302). Most limited-stop routes have been replaced by Metro Rapid routes. Limited-stop routes are sometimes branded as Metro Limited.
  • 600-699 (600-series, 6xx): Shuttle and special event services.

Metro Local buses can also be found on 400-series (4xx) and 500-series (5xx) routes, which are Metro Express routes with different fare structures and routing.

Metro Local Line: 164 bus stop at Warner Center Metro Orange Line Station.

[edit] Contracted Bus Lines

First Transit had operated all of the contracted routes until transferring some lines to other contractors and turning their operations in to MV Transportation after October 2010. ATE Management and Service operated most of the routes until First Transit took over. Until June 2007, most contractor buses had different fareboxes. Farebox changes occurred after a few buses operated by Southland Transit had Metro's previous fareboxes that were not functioning.

Until 2009 and 2010, Most contractor buses were not equipped with SmartBus technology except for several of the NABI 40-LFW #7000 series and 1998 New Flyer D40LF 3000 series. However, The Orbital ATMS system (on-board computer system) and Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) system were installed on the Thomas TL-960, Eldorado National EZ Rider II, NABI 40-LFW and Orion VI.

Until 2010/2011, all most contractor buses did not have Automatic Voice Annunciator (AVA) and Automatic Passenger Counter (APC). The NABI 31-LFW were the first contracted buses to feature full ATMS System included with Automatic Voice Annuciation (AVA) and Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) for contracted lines. In December 2010, Los Angeles Metro has began to expanded the use of ATMS system by installing the Automatic Voice Annuciation (AVA) and Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) on the contracted NABI 40-LFW and two Orion VI units only. The Two Orion VI that got full ATMS system installed where prototype ones, as they have not had SmartBus Technology before.

In March 2011, Transit TV were installed on most contracted buses such as 2000 NABI 40-LFW 7000/7100 series, 2001 Orion VI 11000 series, and 2010 NABI 31-LFW #3100 series only.
