We're moving our community forward by making your bus ride even better with Brighter Blue! Brighter Blue is our service planning effort to get more riders more places and ensure that Big Blue Bus is meeting their needs.
Big Blue Bus serves over 30,000 daily riders across a 58-square mile service area, with daily connections to several LA Metro Rail lines. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how and where people travel, and Big Blue Bus needs to adapt and evolve to respond to these changes.
Brighter Blue will create a plan for implementing service improvements over the next five years, aimed at providing you fast, frequent, and more reliable service. The project will take into consideration the following factors:
- Impacts of COVID-19 on current service conditions
- Daily travel patterns emerging from the pandemic
- Changes in the region and operating environment
- Big Blue Bus's ongoing transition to a zero-emission fleet
We invite you attend an upcoming public workshop to share your feedback on how we can improve our service:
