Metro Express (Los Angeles County)

Metro Express is an express bus service in Los Angeles County, California, operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Buses are usually express for a portion of the route, then run either local or limited stop in other areas and are identified by numbers in the 400's going to and from downtown and 500's for suburb-to-suburb trips.

There is one route (Line 577) which is identified as a premium express line. This is the only route that formerly used Metro's blue-painted buses (referred to by Metro as "Business Blue"). Note that the "X" suffix does not appear on the buses' headsigns. This service concept is planned to be expanded in the future. During the June 2011 service changes, Line 450X was renumbered as Line 450 since it was modified to make local stops in Downtown San Pedro and since has been replaced by the extension of the Metro Silver Line, as of December 2015. There are also at least 13 routes traveling by their respective transitways (Harbor Transitway and El Monte Busway).

MetroExpress (Halifax)

MetroExpress (shortened to MetroX) is an express bus service operating in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Operated by Halifax Transit, MetroX service is available on three limited-stop fully accessible express routes within the Halifax Regional Municipality. All routes link to downtown Halifax, with one from Upper Tantallon, one from Fall River and Halifax Stanfield International Airport, and one from Porters Lake.

History

The MetroX service began on August 31, 2009. MetroExpress was developed designed with the weekday commuter in mind. When fully rolled out MetroX will bring express transit to Park & Ride lots along 100-series highways within HRM, along the three 100-series highways that lead into the Halifax Regional Municipality; those highways being Highway 102, Highway 103 and Highway 107. At the end of August, 2009, MetroX service began with weekday service from Tantallon to Downtown Halifax. In May 2012, daily service along the Highway 102 corridor began between Halifax Stanfield International Airport and Downtown Halifax. Weekday service on the Highway 107 corridor began on November 18, 2013.
