Its main competitors are the Metro Blue Line to Long Beach and the Metro Rapid Line 745, just a block away on Broadway. Ridership on the Transitway is not officially tabulated because service on the Transitway consists of several Metro Express lines, two routes operated by the Orange County Transportation Authority , and services operated by the cities of Gardena , Los Angeles , and Torrance . However, anecdotally, ridership is deemed to be low, especially at the intermediate stations. The main causes for the low ridership are the premium express fare charged to passengers compared to riders on the Blue Line and Metro Rapid (up to $1 more each way than a trip made on the Rapid or Blue Line), the isolated and noisy freeway environment of the stations, and the inconvenience of accessing the stations (and lack of surrounding uses) around the stations compared to surface level light rail or Rapid service. In addition, frequency is inconsistent and the time between buses can be up to 30 minutes during the middle of the day. Metro will be including the Transitway in a bronze color in rail system maps, however, the line will not be officially called the Metro Bronze Line. {Link without Title} ( PDF ) Buses originate from West Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles , with final destinations in Anaheim , Fullerton , Gardena, Huntington Beach , San Pedro , Rancho Palos Verdes , and Torrance.
