Bus riders in Los Angeles have experienced service cuts, a global pandemic, and a shortage of bus operators. Despite these challenges, bus ridership in Los Angeles remains high relative to other cities, showing its residents’ reliance on the bus. Bus riders deserve better service, and transit agencies have been turning to the bus lane as a low-cost and reliable way to improve bus service. This study envisions more bus lanes for Los Angeles and asks: What best practices can Los Angeles learn from the on-street bus lane implementations in other cities?
