Harbor Transitway

The Harbor Transitway is an 11 miles (18 km) shared-use bus corridor (transitway) and high-occupancy vehicle roadway that runs in the median of Interstate 110 (Harbor Freeway) in Southern California. The Metro Silver Line bus rapid transit bus line runs on the Harbor Transitway from Harbor Gateway Transit Center to Downtown Los Angeles and continues to El Monte. Buses originate from Downtown Los Angeles and El Monte, with final destinations in Disneyland, and Disney California Adventure Park located in Anaheim, Knott's Berry Farm, Artesia, Fullerton, Gardena, Hawthorne, Huntington Beach, San Pedro and Torrance.

For a one-year trial period from November 2012 to November 2013, the transitway is including high occupancy toll lanes. This is part of the larger Metro ExpressLanes project that will add major transportation improvements to the area.

There are six transit stations on the main section of the Harbor transitway (the section with high occupancy lanes): 37th Street Station, Slauson Station, Manchester Station, Harbor Freeway/I-105 Station, Rosecrans Station and Harbor Gateway Transit Center (to one side). All of these 6 stations are branded as Metro Silver Line stations. There are a further two stations on the freeway to the south of the transitway: Carson Station and Pacific Coast Highway station. These stations are not considered part of the Metro Silver Line's stations.

Famous quotes containing the word harbor:

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
    Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
