The Redondo Beach Transit Center is a bus station in Redondo Beach, California. The station consists of one large island platform with 11 bus bays and a 320-space park and ride parking lot located next to the transit center. The transit center opened in early 2023,[2] replacing a nearby bus terminal at the South Bay Galleria dating to 1987.[3]
Bus services at the Redondo Beach Transit Center are operated by Beach Cities Transit, GTrans Lawndale Beat, Los Angeles Metro Bus, and Torrance Transit.
Future plans for the transit center include light rail service.[4] The transit center is located adjacent to the Harbor Subdivision, a freight rail line which is proposed as the route of the C Line Extension. The C Line Extension is expected to be completed by 2033, and its completion may be accelerated to 2028 under the Twenty-eight by '28 infrastructure program.[5] [6]
Plans for a new transit center dated back to early 2000. City Council and the Planning Commission approved the project's planning, design, and preliminary funding in 2009.[7]
After a decade of inactivity on the project, groundbreaking and construction began in 2020. The transit center reopened on January 29, 2023, with Metro and GTrans being the first to serve the station. Torrance Transit began serving the station on January 30, 2023.[8] Beach Cities Transit started serving the station on February 13, 2023. Lawndale Beat resumed service on May 15, 2023.[9]
The newer facility has 11 bus bays, 320 parking spaces collectively on both the upper and lower levels, bike lockers, public restrooms, and a staff lounge.
The Redondo Beach Transit Center serves 8 routes. Most services are to South Bay destinations, with additional service to Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood.[10]
