Metro now has 40 miles of bus lanes in Los Angeles, with plans to reach 100 miles in the next few years. Getting buses out of traffic make service faster, more reliable and better for riders.
The best advertisement for public transportation is seeing a bus whoosh past lines of cars stuck in traffic. When transit is convenient, comfortable, affordable and faster than driving, the service practically sells itself. That’s why a recent bus-lane boom in Los Angeles is so welcome.
Bus Rapid Transit, or busways, which operate like light rail lines with dedicated lanes and special stops, have faced resistance from some residents and business owners who worry about losing car lanes or parking. BRT projects have been dropped or scaled back in the north San Fernando Valley and Pasadena. So Metro and L.A. have taken the path of least resistance, installing most bus lanes on streets that already prohibit curbside parking during rush hours such as La Brea Avenue.
