Big Blue Bus Adds Pico Blvd. Rapid Service

bigbluebus_rapid7.jpgThe always popular Santa Monica based Big Blue Bus has done it again, adding its second Rapid bus line to their service line. Like Metro's Rapid Routes and their own Rapid 3 that runs down Lincoln Blvd. between Santa Monica and the LAX area, Rapid 7 will have a limited number of stops, cutting down on travel time (even beyond the Super 7 that it's replacing). It basically runs back and forth between downtown Santa Monica and the Rimpau Transit Center approximately between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. with a small three hour(ish) break from 9 a.m. to noon. ALSO: And now with the school season back in session, the Any Line Any Time service, where Santa Monica College students and staff ride for free, will begin.

yes its okay expect it doesn't connect with the Red Line at Western/Wilshire as the as the personal at the Big Blue said
so it only as far as Pico/Rimpau big deal

sure it only goes as far as pico/rimpau... but you can transfer to metro rapid 730 from there and keep going down pico into downtown l.a.

What a joke.

How is it any faster than the "Super" 7?

This is just an exercise in marketing, brought to you by the same bureaucrats who told us the Lincoln route would have dedicated bus lanes. Three years and counting, they've declared it a "success", even though it can literally take two hours or more to get to the airport at rush hour.

Rapid? Shirley, you jest.
