Metro will host a drop-in bus service planning workshop on Saturday, October 26, from 10 a.m. to noon. Join us to review and discuss the proposed bus route changes that will affect bus service in areas of Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lawndale and Lennox. Residents and transit riders are invited to discuss potential changes to Lines 40, 211, 212 and 215 as well as potential new bus routes.
Please see the above presentation.
The workshop will be held at Lennox Public Library. Light refreshments will be provided. Please drop by, bring your transit-riding friends and give your input on the proposed changes. The proposed bus service changes are expected to begin when the new Crenshaw/LAX Line opens. Workshop Details:

The C Line (Crenshaw/Green).
Help us learn the new ABC’s of Metro.
is there any chance we will receive a simple and clear explanation soon about how the Green line will interface with the Crenshaw. For example-when will we find out how one will travel from Norwalk on the Green line and get off at the new Century/Aviation station. Months ago there were meetings and discussions of multiple plans but it remains unclear. Wouldn’t it be a great idea if a simple video or article would walk us through how it will actually work in just under 8 months or so? Will all the Norwalk westbound trains turn right at the curring Aviation/LAX station and continue on down to Century/Aviation and beyond, or will some continue straight to Redondo? Will you need to make a connection to get to Aviation/Century? How about coming from Aviation Century back to Norwalk. Will you hop on any train heading towards aviation/lax station and it turns left towards Norwalk–or will some trains turn right to Redondo? This might lead to less confusion when the system starts and allow us to start planning if we will need to take a bus still. Traditionally we have found out about changes in service-a week or two in advance if we are lucky.
Hi Dave;
My apologies for slow response — we were having problems with wordpress (the software we use for this blog) yesterday. I posted a reply but it seems to have vanished.
As for Crenshaw/Line, the Metro Board last December voted 7 to 4 (with two abstentions) to go with a one-year pilot of an operating plan in which one set of trains would run between Redondo and Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station on the Green Line and another set of trains would run between Norwalk and Expo/Crenshaw using both the Green Line and Crenshaw/LAX Line tracks. Staff are still working out the final details of the ops plan but that’s where we are for now.
Here’s our post about the operating plan before it went to the full Board: https://thesource.metro.net/2018/12/03/metro-board-to-consider-operating-plan-for-crenshaw-lax-and-green-lines/
And here’s our Board meeting recap from last December: https://thesource.metro.net/2018/12/06/actions-taken-by-the-metro-board-of-directors-on-thursday/
Hope that helps!
