On December 13th, 2015, Los Angeles City Mayor Eric Garcetti, Councilman Joe Buscaino, Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, and L.A. Metro CEO Phillip A. Washington celebrated the launch of Metro Line 950X in front of the historic battleship USS Iowa in San Pedro CA (MayorOfLA, 2015).
Former Express Line 450 merged into Line 950X, patrons are now able to travel beyond Downtown Los Angeles by eliminating transfers and wait times at Harbor Gateway Transit Center (Broverman, 2015). One-seat rides from San Pedro to El Monte was a breakthrough since the introduction of Rapid Lines during LA's transit renaissance at the turn of the century (Walker, 2020).
Five years later, transportation planners proposed a widely unpopular agenda called "Next Gen Bus Plan" (HumanTransit, LAStreets, LA Times, 2020). The Plan would eliminate one-seat rides on routes traveling at longer distances and cancel or consolidate Rapid and Express services to local lines (MTA, 2020).
Although still in its infancy, Line 950 is L.A. Metro's longest express route (rome2rio, 2020). It is scheduled to be eliminated in favor of resurrected but diminished Line 450 service coverage due to the Next Gen Bus Plan (NextGen, 2020, p. 184).
In this episode our crews documented the entire trip of Metro Line 950, from El Monte Station via Downtown Los Angeles to San Pedro Express. The total distance from El Monte to San Pedro on Metro Line 950 is 49.2 miles or 79.1 km (Rome2Rio, 2020).
Be the one who will always remember the mighty 950. #950LIVES

What an amazing intro to that video, especially with that woman threatening to start driving if the 950 gets canceled. Also, I put a link to this video in the description of my ride along video!
I hope they don’t cancel the 950 because we need that line to connect el monte and downtown to San Pedro
I hope they don't eliminate 950 silverline
Amazing episode of Line 950! The premium express! Way more reliable than the 450.
I want to go back to LA so bad
I made my own NextGen system map. Note that some of those lines I made are fanmade or discontinued from the system.
Love it them buses be hauling butt .
Where are you going to
I wonder if 950 is the second longest route in the MTA system after 460? And do you know the top ten longest MTA routes?
This route is a BRT Los Angeles. Bus Rapid Transit.
In December 2022, Metro will be revamping service in San Pedro. Line 950 is the only line that is not affected by this change thankfully
What a nice intro !!!
I just discovered your channel! Very nice!!
