The Silver Streak is a bus rapid transit service between Los Angeles and Montclair, operated by Foothill Transit. Between Downtown Los Angeles and El Monte, buses use the El Monte Busway. Between El Monte and the Montclair Transit Center, buses travel on the San Bernardino Freeway. The service was introduced in 2007 in response to overcrowding on Foothill Transit route 480. It runs 24 hours a day, with hourly service in the late evening.

LA Metro's J Line service, which also uses the El Monte Busway, was introduced in 2009, and since 2012, both agencies have offered a reciprocal fare program, allowing pass holders to ride either route between Downtown Los Angeles and El Monte.
