The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is implementing improvements to boost the efficiency and reliability of bus service, beginning on Sunday, Dec. 10.

Changes include modifications to late-night service to offer better transit connections, a new Westside Line 602 shuttle, and extending Line 233 for 24-hours service.

Changes will occur on Lines 2/302, and a new Line 602 Shuttle will be created. To improve service reliability, Line 2 will now operate only between downtown L.A. and Westwood. At the corner of Westwood Boulevard and Le Conte Avenue, connections will be made to a new Line 602 Shuttle for destinations west along Sunset Boulevard to Pacific Coast Highway. The new Line 602 Shuttle will terminate in Westwood at Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue, providing new connections to Metro Lines 20, 720 and Line 788.

Due to passenger demand, Lines 92 and 292 will be combined during peak hours to provide one ride from the Sylmar Metrolink Station to downtown L.A. During midday hours, every other bus will end the trip at the Downtown Burbank Metrolink Station.

The route of Lines 230 and 234 will be modified to go into Mission College’s East Campus. The new terminal will provide improved access for college students. Service will be discontinued on the existing turnaround loop using Hubbard Street, Simshaw Avenue and Sayre Street.

Lines 16, 17, 18, 316 and 720 will return to their regular eastbound routes traveling east on Sixth Street to Flower Street, and resume regular routes to the eastern terminus. Lines 442, 460, 910 and 950 will return to their regular northbound routes on Figueroa Street and east on Sixth Street. The lines will resume regular routes to their northern terminal.

Late-night owl service changes  will provide new services and improve late-night connections. Late-night and owl trips have been modified to improve connections to owl buses in downtown L.A. For a list of additional changes, visit metro.net.
