Metro Transit Mall

The always busy Metro Transit Mall Station for the Blue Line trains, on the 1st Street corner of Pine Avenue, serves thousands of commuters daily and on time to and from Long Beach to the 7th Street Metro Station of Los Angeles.
But beware for motorists, this short strip is a no driver’s lane for the pride of Long Beach will be on hand to write tickets. Only the LB transit share the strip with the trains.

The LBTransit & Visitor Information Center

The lady at the counter of the Long Beach Transit & Visitor Information Center peeked through the grilled window and pointed to us the rack which contain handy guides and maps about the area. I thanked her and took one each of the brochures. The center is convenently located at 130 E. 1st Street, Southeast corner of 1st Street & Pine Avenue.

Inside a Long Beach Transit Bus

Last Saturday, I took the Long Beach Transit towards downtown, instead of driving a car, saving me two ways- gas and parking money. Parking space in downtown is expensive. Besides, the ride was comfy, too, with a friendly bus operator. The LBT has fielded fuel efficient buses, in fact, majority of the fleet now are hybrid considerably reducing its carbon emission footprint. Thanks to the vision of the management.
Photo in here is an interior of the bus which pretty much represents the general atmosphere obtained in every LBT buses.
Starting last June 2, and still on-going, the public utility bus system offers express bus service to a variety of local museums which all depart from the Transit Info Center on the Long Beach Transit Mall.
