A proposed 6-mile, $135 million extension north from Warner Centerto the Chatsworth Metrolink (commuter rail) station was approved bythe LAMTA board on September 28, 2006. A local transit advocacygroup, The Transit Coalition, has also proposed a 3.5 mile northernextension of the bus way from the east end of the Orange Line at theNorth Hollywood Metrorail (heavy rail) station.South Miami-Dade County Bus wayThe first phase of the South Miami-Dade County Bus way opened in1997 over a $60 million, 8.5-mile route operating southwest from theDadeland South Metrorail station to Florida City. A 5-mile extensionopened in 2005, and an additional 6.5-mile extension is likely to openin 2008.Figure 4.14 South Miami-Dade Bus way Route72
The Bus way has suffered from many accidents, which has forcedbuses to slow down to 15 MPH. Operating speeds are comparable tothe Orange Line Bus way in Los Angeles. Unlike the Orange Line,several routes use the Bus way, averaging 8,000 daily boardings (2002).Grade Separated Bus waysFully grade-separated bus ways have been built in a handful of NorthAmerican cities including the El Monte Bus way in Los Angeles, threebus ways in Pittsburgh and the well-known Ottawa Transitway inCanada. According to Wikipedia, the El Monte Bus way:Opened in 1974 to buses only, then became open to carpools in 1976.The eastern terminus of the bus way was near El Monte Bus Station inEl Monte at Baldwin Avenue, until it was extended 2 miles in 2005 to I-605. The western terminus of the bus way is at Alameda St. nearUnion Station. The resulting carpool roadway is one of the fewindisputably successful mass transit projects undertaken in SouthernCalifornia. Bus ridership is approximately 18,000 [boardings per day],and in addition to the 100 buses an hour along the bus way duringpeak periods, the roadway carries 1,600 carpools and vanpools duringpeak hours.Bus service is provided with a mix of Foothill Transit and Metro Expressbuses. There are two classes of bus service on the bus way: MetroExpress and Foothill Transit's Silver Streak and Line 481 service makeall bus way stops and allow boarding and alighting at all stops alongthe route, while Foothill Transit's Commuter Express service only dropsoff passengers heading westbound during the morning rush hour andonly boards passengers heading eastbound during the afternoon rushhour; Commuter Express buses do not stop at El Monte Bus Station,continuing along the HOV lanes of I-10.Bus service operates from various points in the San Gabriel Valley andPomona Valley, as well as the San Bernardino County cities of Chinoand Montclair, for those going to and from Downtown Los Angeles;Foothill Transit Line 481 continues to Korea town to the Wilshire/Western Red Line Station. The El Monte Bus Station is believed to bethe busiest bus terminal west of the Mississippi River, although the SanFrancisco Transbay Terminal may be busier.Figure 4.15 El Monte Bus way Map73
