With gas prices skyrocketing and traffic jams escalating, car owners have more reasons than ever for leaving the driving to the professionals at Metro South Bay.
The local link of the regional Metro offers general transit information on fares, passes and timetables. The Green Line runs in the median of the Century (105) Freeway and El Segundo to Norwalk. Several Metro buses use the Harbor Transitway to connect the South Bay to downtown Los Angeles or West Hollywood. Information for people with special needs includes tips for such diverse riders as disabled travelers and bicycle riders hoping to travel on Metro for portions of their routes.
Multi-language pocket guides and even a "Go Metro" shopping guide are available.
A trip-planning service may be used to plot a regional transit trip from departure point to destination. A special feature on "real-time traffic" also offers information on vanpool options and other car-free ways to deal with that irritating commute.
The South Bay's local bus service is supplemented by Torrance Transit and Gardena Municipal Bus Lines. These carriers run local bus services on major roads and express bus service to downtown Los Angeles.
