Los Angeles Metro Busway

Metro Busway (formerly known as Metro Liner and Metro Transitway) is a system of bus rapid transit (BRT) routes operated by Los Angeles Metro. The system primarily uses exclusive or semi-exclusive roadways, referred to locally as a busway or transitway. It currently consists of two lines serving 29 stations, not including surface street stops: the G Line in the San Fernando Valley and the J Line, which serves El Monte, Downtown Los Angeles, Gardena, and San Pedro.

The G Line, which operates on an exclusive busway, was the first to open, beginning service on October 29, 2005. The J Line launched on December 13, 2009, utilizing the pre-existing Harbor Transitway and El Monte Busway, semi-exclusive corridors that are used by both buses and as high-occupancy toll lanes under the Metro ExpressLanes program.

Metro Busway services are designed to mimic Metro Rail services, in both the vehicles' design and their operation. Buses feature a silver livery similar to that used on Metro Rail vehicles, offer all-door boarding, and receive signal priority at intersections. Both lines operate on a proof-of-payment system; passengers with valid fare loaded on a TAP card may board through any door. TAP cards can be purchased and reloaded at ticket vending machines located at most stations.
