History
One seat ride from LAX/Metro Transit Center station to the Downtown Santa Monica station via a bus rapid transit corridor along Lincoln Bl. The BRT will be converted to a rail service in the future if ridership outgrows the bus rapid service capacity, but there is currently no funding for a light rail conversion. The corridor will service LAX, Playa Del Rey, Westchester, Venice and Santa Monica, all beach communities along Santa Monica bay.
