History of Valley
-- who had, ironically, been approached by PE to acquire their Valley lines in 1949 -- on August 3, 1954. The acquired lines continued to be operated by MCL as "Asbury" and were numbered for the first time after the change of ownership (Asbury had been formed by a 1939 merger in which Original Stage Lines changed its name to Asbury Rapid Transit System August 31, followed by the equipment and rights of Pasadena-Ocean Park Stage Lines transferring to Asbury September 19; Asbury also assumed control of the three-line Burbank City Lines system in October, 1949). MCL and Asbury lines (as well as service by most other companies in the region) transferred to LAMTA -- which had existed as a planning agency since 1951, but whose powers were expanded in 1957 to allow it to be a transit operator -- on March 3, 1958. Some line numbers changed in the process and some branch designators were created for the first time. In order to determine a line's origin prior to 1958, the background color for the line number is dark red for PE/MCL, yellow for Los Angeles Railway (later, as bus service, Los Angeles Transit Lines), green for Asbury, and white for Los Angeles Motor Coach; all line numbers from 1958 to 1964 were LAMTA numbers.
Los Angeles Transit Lines (LATL) Lines 86 and 87 are shown with a white background for their line numbers, rather than yellow, because even though they were under LATL control when they were folded into LAMTA in 1958, they were established by Los Angeles Motor Coach under its original name of Los Angeles Motor Bus Company.
implemented on November 18, 1962. This resulted in a net increase of 29 route miles in the Valley. Most LAMTA lines kept their numbers on November 5, 1964 when they were transferred to RTD; exceptions are noted.
But up until March 30, 1975, service was nothing like the present system of long lines using a single street for most of their route mileage; RTD lines -- like the LAMTA or MCL lines before them -- were constructed in "U"-shaped, dogleg, stairstep, and other configurations with multiple turns to serve parts of various streets. By the early 1970s, it was obvious that a major restructuring was needed, and the angular alignments were replaced by more than a dozen new lines, running along the entire length of the Valley's arterial streets and constituting a grid of service (with the exception of a few lines which required minor zig-zag routing because of the lack of through street mileage). All of the grid services were operated all day, seven days a week; for these lines, any subsequent reduction in days of week or hours of operation are noted.
The new numbers needed to be in place with new bus stop signs -- with line numbers and descriptions indicated on each sign -- prior to the 1984 Olympics. RTD Staff had originally proposed that all Valley local lines retain their numbers from the 1975 grid restructuring, but John Dyer (then RTD General Manager) wanted a complete change to the new number system. Most of the east-west lines retained their 100-series line numbers from the grid system. The entries during this period for the old and new numbers are identified in the table as "Great Renumbering" for easier identification.
operations survey, published from 1964 through the present; many came from the master line records at Metro and from the published timetables. Some gaps were filled using the RTD and MTA system maps from 1985, 1992, and 1994; from various service change brochures; from LADOT's 1994 system guide; and from the 1986 RTD map of the San Fernando Valley. Line descriptions are as shown when a line was first introduced; an exception is made for PE/MCL/LAMTA/RTD Line 90, which in its roughly 25 years of operation went through so many changes that it was a completely different line in 1975 than it had been in 1949 (that entry has two descriptions ... the original description and the revised description after the 1962 restructuring).
There are a handful of lines which, for much of their history, operated outside the Valley. They are included here because of their relationship with lines that did serve the Valley (defined as the area north of the Santa Monica Mountains, from Glendale west to the Los Angeles/Ventura County line): LATL 5 and 61 and LAMTA 7A (origin of Verdugo Rd. service in Glendale); LATL 45 (origin of service between Hollywood and Pasadena via Glendale); LAMC/LATL 86 (origin of service to Griffith Park); LAMC/LATL 87 (origin of Riverside Dr. service and service to Glendale from Silver Lake); and RTD 108 and 119 (origin of service between Glendale and Pasadena via La Cañada-Flintridge). Also included are lines operated in what is now Santa Clarita by RTD in 1972-73, because that service was operated by RTD's Valley bus divisions.
sponsoring company (identified in the grid with the start date), who paid a premium price for a special RTD pass allowing use of the direct service (and the marketing brochures made the most of the "premium" image of the service). Two of the sponsoring companies used the service in a more unique way; Blue Cross and Prudential simply paid the bill outright and used the service to ferry employees from their existing offices to their new Warner Center facilities (making them, in effect, "reverse direction" lines). Most of the subscription services were short-lived; two lines were converted to regular freeway express service in 1981, and three more were similarly converted in 1983, as noted.
The maps -- more than 400 of them are linked from this page -- come from a variety of sources, including timetables, service change brochures, detour notices, line instruction documents, and system maps. They do not necessarily come from materials issued on the exact date of a route change, but they do come from the period that a particular routing was in effect. In some cases, where only a line's terminal changed, only relevant parts of a map are displayed; this was especially done in cases where this allowed for a clearer map image. (Note that it was very rare, prior to the 1950s, for timetables to display individual route maps; thus there are few maps available for early service, and in some cases early maps will show routings for multiple lines, which may not necessarily have been in existence on the date the map is linked to. In those cases, we have opted to include the map if it is the only one available for that period of time.) It should also be noted that, from 2005 to 2010, Metro changed its map design and ink color for local (non-Rapid) timetables; we have tried our best to make these legible by conversion to greyscale, but we apologize in advance for some of the poor results.
