NEW
AND IMPROVED MTA SYSTEMWIDE TRANSIT MAP NOW AVAILABLE
The
MTA’s newest systemwide Metro Bus and Rail map, sponsored by Nix Check
Cashing, is now available free-of-charge at over 50 Nix Check Cashing outlets.
The map is one of the most comprehensive, easy to follow transit service maps
ever produced by the Authority, making trip planning far more convenient.
Starting
November 17, the maps, which reflect public transit services in a service area
encompassing 1,433 square miles, can also be picked up at six MTA Customer
Service Centers.
The maps, measuring 4-inches by 9-inches when folded, but large enough to
cover a breakfast table when unfurled, depict in color codes the latest and all
MTA Metro Bus lines, MTA Metro Rail lines and stations as well as municipal bus
lines, Metrolink routes and stations. The maps also reference numerous Los
Angeles County highways and freeways.
To locate the nearest Nix Check Cashing outlet, call (310) 538-2242, ext.
301. MTA Customer Service Centers are located at: 515 S. Flower Street, level C,
Arco Plaza Customer Center; 5301 Wilshire Boulevard, Wilshire Customer Center;
3650 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 101B, Baldwin Hills Customer Center; 14435
Sherman Way, Suite 107, San Fernando Valley Customer Center; 4501 “B”
Whittier Blvd., East L.A. Customer Center; East Portal, Union Station; and
adjacent to East Portal at MTA headquarters, One Gateway Plaza, plaza level.
The initial run of 25,000 maps was printed by Nix Check Cashing; an
updated re-print is planned for January. By mid-November, the map should be
featured online at www.mta.net., which already carries a customized trip
planner.
