Express bus considered for Orange Line

| | Comments (0) |

commute.jpg The 14-mile ride on Metro's Orange Line can take up to 45 minutes, and now transportation officials want to speed that up to entice motorists to leave their cars behind and hop on board.

A study being reviewed now for an express ride shaves up to five minutes off the commute from Woodland Hills to North Hollywood. It also skips some stops along the way and could leave passengers at those stops waiting even longer for the Orange Line - a move decried by some critics.

What would it take for you to leave your car behind and use the Orange Line? How could an express line for the bus way work? Tell our blog!
