About Us

The Transportation Department is responsible for providing Gardena residents with transportation services and for coordinating Gardena's transportation services with neighboring cities and the County of Los Angeles in a joint effort to develop a regional transportation plan. The Gardena Municipal Bus Lines operates as an enterprise fund separate from the City's General Fund operations. Major divisions of the Department are:

Administrative Unit - records management, reporting, funding, and procurement services for the Department.

Transportation Unit - coach operators, route supervision, street operations, and service delivery (Fixed-Route).

Maintenance Unit - mechanical repairs and preventative maintenance on vehicles and support equipment; compliance assurance and reporting on related mandates.

Special Transit Unit - demand/response service (door-to-door) for the elderly and handicapped. The Gardena Municipal Bus Lines

The Gardena Municipal Bus Lines (GMBL) manages 50 full-size diesel buses and 10 demand response vehicles. Utilizing 40 peak hour buses, the GMBL is an integral part of the Los Angeles regional transit system. GMBL provides low cost, easily accessible public transportation for some 18,000 riders on an average weekday. By connecting with the Blue Line rail system, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and other area municipal bus services, riders can easily commute throughout the South Bay into downtown Los Angeles and to a variety of locations in surrounding areas. In addition to the primary fixed route schedules, the demand response vehicles provide much needed mobility to many area elderly and handicapped people who otherwise would be unable to carry out the routines of their daily lives.

Gardena Municipal Bus Lines provides more than 400 bus stops throughout our service area. All bus stops are marked by bright Gardena bus stop signs. Look for the distinctive Gardena logo! Many stops offer a convenient bench and some have shelters. At several bus stops you will find a route map of the lines serving that location. These maps have been placed at major intersections and transfer points so you can see just where the bus will take you. Special maps also list service hours and the approximate time between buses. Remember, all Gardena bus lines meet at the intersection of Gardena Blvd and Vermont Ave, so you can always get a connection to your destination.
