Keep these simple tips in mind and use this guide to determine which LADOT route will serve you best. Pick up the specific DASH or Commuter Express brochure for the route you will be using.

Stops are clearly marked on the route maps. Board the bus at any place along the route that is marked with an LADOT bus stop sign displaying either a DASH or Commuter Express logo.

Many Commuter Express stops are shared with other services that are part of Metro, the region's integrated transportation system. Signs are marked Metro on top with route numbers using that stop listed below. When the bus approaches, check the sign above the windshield for the route number and destination.

Pay your fare upon boarding or show your pass at this time. If you need to make a transfer, pick up your transfer slip upon boarding. Have a seat and watch for the stop where you want to get off.

About one block before your bus arrives at your stop, signal the driver to stop by pulling the bell cord overhead. The driver will stop at the next bus stop sign. If you are unsure of where you need to depart, the driver will be glad to assist. Refer to your specific route brochure for exact bus stop locations and departure times.

Times are approximate and may vary due to traffic and weather conditions. Please plan your trip accordingly.

As a courtesy to riders, LADOT does not allow smoking, eating, drinking or loud radio playing while on the bus. Be courteous to other riders by keeping the volume low or using headphones with any radios. Look for schedule and route changes on Rider Alert forms on board the buses. Do not distract the drivers with unnecessary conversation and activity. For more information, please see our Riders' Code of Conduct page.

Please reserve the forward-most seating on the bus for elderly or mobility impaired riders.
