Long Beach Transit will be adjusting its bus routes starting Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022 and is asking for public feedback on which bus stops to remove.
According to Long Beach Transit’s website, the department is proposing getting rid of 32 bus stops and is inviting riders to share how this would affect them.
The bus stops considered for removal are along Routes 1, 2, 20, 41, 51, 71, 90, 171 and 190.
According to Long Beach Transit, the bus stops being considered for removal have experienced low ridership, their removal would not present any safety concerns and would not interfere with accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Changes are already planned for routes 41, 46 and 121, according to Long Beach Transit’s website.
Route 41’s running time will be reduced by three minutes between Long Beach Boulevard and Santa Fe Avenue.
Route 46 will have an earlier start time at 4:55 a.m. instead of 5:04 a.m. Route 46 will also now begin at Anaheim and PCH instead of Anaheim and Cherry.
Buses along Route 121 will come more frequently, from every 60 minutes to 40 minutes. A bus trip will be added on weekday mornings at 5:02 a.m. to provide an earlier connection between Route 121 and the A/Blue Line in downtown Long Beach.
Long Beach Transit riders can share how specific bus stop removals would impact them by visiting Long Beach Transit’s website. More information can be found by calling (562) 591 2301.
