Metro Express
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metro Express is a form of express bus service in Los Angeles County, California, operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Buses are usually express for a portion of the route, then run either local, or limited stop in other areas. Buses are identified by numbers in the 400's (going downtown). Three routes are in the 500's for suburb-to-suburb trips.
There are two routes with an "X" at the end of their route schedule, the 450X and 577X. They are the only routes that uses the blue painted buses and the only routes with a blue timetable. These "X Lines" are premium express services that make minimal stops (Line 450X and Line 577X both making only five stops along the entire route). The "X" does not appear on headsigns, however. This service concept is planned to be expanded in the future. There are a few Express lines that use Metro Rapid buses, but uses mostly Metro Local buses.
Metro charges two zones maximum for their express services. Each zone is $0.50 added to the base fare of $1.25.
