Metro Local (Los Angeles County)
Metro Local is a bus system in Los Angeles County operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). This retronym designation was placed to differentiate it from the Metro Rapid service (before the advent of several Rapids, they were simply known as "Metro lines"). Metro Local buses cover both local, limited-stop, and shuttle bus services.
Metro Local buses are distinguished by their prominent orange color (although three older buses still carry the pre-2003 "Metro Bus" colors.) Based on availability of equipment, units in Metro Rapid and rarely Metro Express livery may be placed into service on lines that normally uses regular buses.
There are bus lines that are operated under contract with MV Transportation, Southland Transit, and Veolia Transportation.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or angeles:
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)
