Service type	bus service
Operator	LACMTA, MV Transportation, Southland Transit, Veolia Transportation

Metro Local is a bus system in Los Angeles County operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). This retronym designation was placed to differentiate it from the Metro Rapid service (before the advent of several Rapids, they were simply known as "Metro lines"). Metro Local buses cover both local, limited-stop, and shuttle bus services.

Metro Local buses are distinguished by their prominent orange color (although a number of older buses still carry the pre-2003 "Metro Bus" colors.)

There are bus lines that are operated under contract with MV Transportation, Southland Transit, and Veolia Transportation.

Route Numbers

A Metro Local bus with the old "yellow jacket" paint scheme.

Metro bus stop sign for Local line 4 and Rapid line 704 in Santa Monica.

Metro buses are given route numbers that indicate the type of service offered. This method was devised originally by the SCRTD, Metro's predecessor.

• 1-99 (00-series, xx): Local bus service to/from Downtown Los Angeles and other areas. The route numbering begins at Route 2 (Sunset Boulevard, a route leading west from downtown) and proceeds counterclockwise around Downtown Los Angeles, ending at route 96 (Riverside Drive.)
• 100-199 (100-series, 1xx): East-west service, not necessarily serving Downtown Los Angeles.
• 200-299 (200-series, 2xx): North-south service, not necessarily serving Downtown Los Angeles.
• 300-399 (300-series, 3xx): Limited-stop versions of traditional local routes, which make fewer stops and generally operate during peak times. Most limited-stop routes are designated by placing a 3 before a main route number (example: the limited-stop version of route 2 is route 302). Most limited-stop routes have been replaced by Metro Rapid routes. Limited-stop routes are sometimes branded as Metro Limited.
• 600-699 (600-series, 6xx): Shuttle and special event services.

Metro Local buses can also be found on 400-series (4xx) and 500-series (5xx) routes, which are Metro Express routes with different fare structures and routing.

Contracted Bus Lines

First Transit had operated all of the contracted routes until transferring some lines to other contractors and turning their operations in to MV Transportation after October 2010. ATE Management and Service operated most of the routes until First Transit took over. Until June 2007, most contractor buses had different fareboxes. Farebox changes occurred after a few buses operated by Southland Transit had Metro's previous fareboxes that were not functioning. Until 2010, Most contractor buses were not equipped with SmartBus technology except for several NABI 40-LFW #7000 series and 1998 New Flyer D40LF 3000 series. However, The Orbital radio system (ATMS computer system) and AVL system were installed on the Thomas TL-960, Eldorado National EZ Rider II, NABI 40-LFW (20 vehicles which were re-installed) and Orion VI in 2008/2009.

The NABI 31-LFW were the first contracted buses to feature ATMS System inculded Automatic Voice Annuciation (AVA) and Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) for contracted lines.

In December 2010, the Automatic Voice Annuciation (AVA) and Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) were installed on 14 NABI 40-LFW #7000 and 7100 series as part of expanding the ATMS system for for service management and performance analyis. However, 6 units didn't get the AVA and APC system installed which have been retired this year in 2011, previosuly these 20 NABI 40-LFW buses did had the ATMS system but were removed in late 2005 when they transferred to Southland Transit at that time. Later on, all these 20 units got the Orbital radio system and Automatice Vehicle Locater system re-installed in 2008/2009 with 14 Vehicles getting the AVA and APC system re-installed in December of 2010. Two Orion VI did get the AVA and APC system installed which were a prototype for full ATMS system.

However, several more NABI 40-LFW that transferred to the contractors in these past years have retained the ATMS system and most of them already had feature the Transit TV monitor (front and rear, 2 screens).

In March 2011, Transit TV were installed on most contracted buses such as 2000 NABI 40-LFW 7000/7100 series, 2001 Orion VI 11000 series, and 2010 NABI 31-LFW #3100 series only. The Transit TV screens have been installed in the front only (1 screen).

Between October and December 2011, the AVA and APC system will be installed on 64 Orion VI buses and making contracted fleet be 100% full ATMS SmartBus. [1]
