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.

“Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one’s privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Cities are ... distinguished by the catastrophic forms they presuppose and which are a vital part of their essential charm. New York is King Kong, or the blackout, or vertical bombardment: Towering Inferno. Los Angeles is the horizontal fault, California breaking off and sliding into the Pacific: Earthquake.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
