Metro Liner (Los Angeles County)
Metro Liner (also known as Metro Busway and Metro Transitway), refers to limited-stop bus services operated by Los Angeles County Metro that mostly operate on bus lanes. There are currently two lines, the bus rapid transit (BRT) Orange Line in the San Fernando Valley, and the Silver Line in Central Los Angeles.
The concept began on October 29, 2005, with the opening of Metro's first fully designated BRT line: the Metro Orange Line. Three years later in 2008, Metro began studying the possibly of operating a freeway/bus rapid transit line which would link the Harbor Transitway & El Monte Busway together. This concept was first explored in 1993, but due to a lack of funds, the study was canceled. In 2009, Metro received funds to operate the Dual Hub Bus Rapid Transit Route, which later became renamed to the Metro Silver Line. It took nearly 7 months after receiving the state funds to design the Silver Line's route, fare and frequencies. As of July 2012, the Metro Liner network is composed of 40 miles together. The Metro Liner concept has been very successful on the Metro Orange Line and the Silver Line's ridership has increased by 70% since it began service on December 13, 2009.
Metro Liner is designed to mimic the Metro Rail light rail services, in both the vehicle's design and their operation. Vehicles on both systems are painted in Metro Rail's silver livery, stop at all stations, passengers can board at any door, and vehicles receive priority at intersections. Like Metro Rail, when fully implemented, Metro Liner buses will not have fareboxes, and ticket vending machines (TVM) will be available at all stations, as it is the case on the Orange Line. The Metro Liner concept has not yet been fully incorporated into the Silver Line. As of January 2013, Metro is still currently evaluating the option of installing ticket vending machines at the Metro Silver Line 9 busway stations. On January 24, 2013, metro officials approved a plan to install 4 ticket vending machines for the Metro Silver Line at El Monte Bus Station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thesource.metro.net/2013/01/24/other-actions-taken-today-by-the-metro-board-of-directors-contract-to-buy-new-buses-tvms-for-el-monte-station/ )〕 Metro is still waiting for approval to install ticket vending machines at the remaining 8 Metro Silver Line stations. As of now, payment is made on board the bus for the Metro Silver Line, while the Orange Line has ticket vending machines at all of its stations.
==Line Statistics==
There are two Metro Liner lines as of 2012. Each line is associated with a color. The stations are denoted by a square and the color of the line. Metro Rail lines use circles instead of squares.
