  1. Increasing bus service on Metro Local 256 By: Israel Figueroa, Reyes Lucero, Yair De Jesus, Toby Benitez

  2. Background • Metro Local Line 256 runs between Commerce and Altadena • According to the official Timetable, bus frequency is about 45 minutes • Passengers do not like waiting for the next bus.

  3. Problem • Bus service is limited in this bus. • Passengers have to wait a very long time for the bus to show up. • The service on the line runs on

  4. Current ridership • Monday thru Friday: • Morning: 70-100 each way. • Afternoon: 60-90 each way. • Some of these buses get very full and passengers have to be standing, wait a long time for the bus to begin with.

  5. Who takes care of bus Service? • Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro) is in charge of buses in Los Angeles County. • The person that in charge in timetable and increase of bus service is Conan Cheung.

  6. Proposed solution • We want an increase of bus service in this route. • Having service increase from 45 to 30 minutes, mostly during rush hour. • This includes having two additional buses • More open seats.

  7. Petition • To get our proposal to the public and to Metro Representative, we created a petition.

  8. Timetable

  9. Effects to the customer • For the customer, no actual changes. • Everything is kept at Metro Official bus fare.

  10. Effects to Metro

  11. Action Taken • For our petition, we took the bus. • Both northbound and southbound. • We also got comments from the public, including • Increasing to 20 minutes • Instead of 31ft buses to 40ft buses. • Half of the people who signed our petition are residents that surround the 256.

  12. Action Taken • We met up with Metro’s Conan Cheung, • Presented our plan. • His conclusion: • That adding more buses cannot be approved. • To decrease non-rush hour and/or weekend service. • How much does it cost yearly? • At $ 1000 per day. • To shorten where the bus route travels.

  13. Reflection • Our next steps, include: • Revising the timetable • Allocating funding to increasing service.
