A big thank you to all our customers who participated over the last 18 months and also to those who came out to BBB's Expo Integration Plan public hearing last night.  The City Council unanimously approved BBB's Expo Service Integration Plan.  

Our work is only just beginning as our team works to prepare for an 11% increase in service. These tasks include: 

• Customer Service: Sharing information with customers on the proposed phasing of this plan
• Graphic Design: Developing maps and timetables for new routes 
• Human Resources: Hiring almost 20 new motor coach operators
• Training: New skills for new operators and new route training for existing 250 bus operators
• Maintenance: Purchasing new vehicles
• Facilities: Adding 200 new bus stops to our network
• Planning: Evaluating new services to meet performance standards 

With your help as well, our efforts to provide greater service and connectivity with the upcoming light rail will provide more convenient transportation options throughout BBB's service area. Stay tuned for details as we prepare to implement service changes over the course of the next 12 months in anticipation of the opening of Expo Light Rail Service in Spring 2016. 

Now begins the Evolution of Blue. Join us for the ride.    

BBB presented an updated proposal at a Santa Monica City Council Public Hearing on April 28th. 

See the full plan here. Big Blue Bus worked with hundreds of stakeholders over the past two years and planning staff has took thousands of YOUR comments into consideration to produce the final service proposal.
