As we posted yesterday, please expect bus detours this afternoon in downtown Los Angeles due to May Day protests. As usual, it’s a bit of a fluid situation as it’s hard to predict how many protestors there will be.
As of 12:30 p.m., 10 bus lines were on detour and Broadway was closed between 11th Street and Olympic. The lines detoured: 2, 4, 28, 30, 40, 45, 728, 733, 740 and 745.
The best way to get up-to-date information is to check the service alerts on the metro.net homepage or to subscribe to Metro’s service alert Twitter feed. Service alerts can also be received by text message on your phone — here’s how to sign up.
pls. let me know where I can take line 10 or 14 in downtown.
I normally catch the 740 or the 40 on Pico and Broadway around 5:15. Will I be able to do that today 5-1-12? What is the detour route for those two buses?
Hi Lori;
The 10 mostly runs on Temple, Hill and Main streets in downtown. Here’s the timetable with a map.
The 14 mostly runs on 1st, Olive and Grand streets in downtown. Here’s the timetable for the 14 with a map.
