FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


MTA BOARD WILL NOT TAKE ACTION ON NOV. 30 ON PROPOSED METRO BUS SERVICE MODIFICATIONS
 

In order to insure that the MTA Board of Directors has enough time to consider all of the issues, the MTA will not consider any service changes or modifications at its Nov. 30 Board meeting.

The service changes, which were presented for public comment twice in October and once in November will be presented to the Board at a later time, possibly in January.

The delay will also allow staff to pursue discussions with other transit operators to be certain that adequate alternative transit options are available if MTA provided service is modified.

            The following changes are proposed to improve bus service and access for passengers using the Harbor Transitway: Metro Bus lines 51, 351, 205, 445, 446, 447 and 550.

            In the Wilshire/Whittier corridor lines 18, 20, 21, 22, 471, and 720 are proposed to be restructured and/or canceled to reduce service duplication and better match service to customer demand.

            In the Ventura corridor, the following service is proposed to be restructured to improve services and meet customer demand: lines 150, 240, and 750.           

Other miscellaneous service change proposals designed to improve the operation of Metro Bus service are :Lines 40, 42, 102, 107, 114, 220, 250, 253, 340, 402, 436, 442, 466, 484, 490, 491, 497, 620 and 625.
