Los Angeles public bus transportation has slowed significantly over the past decade. Recent studies indicate that half the time a bus is in service it is stopped, either at a traffic signal or a bus stop to board patrons. To improve bus speeds, the Los Angeles Metro Rapid Program was implemented in June 2000. Six months following implementation, the program was deemed a success. Operating speed, service quality, ridership, and customer response all exceeded objectives, with very little or no negative impact on the rest of the transportation system and other travel modes.
