Rider Information

The first step is to locate the starting point and destination of your trip using the Culver CityBus System Map. Determine which route you will use and remember that some trips may require more than one bus, which means that you will transfer from one bus to another. There are several resources to help you plan your trip with ease. Below is a list of useful online trip planners.

• Metro Trip Planner 
• Google Transit

Culver CityBus has bus schedules for each bus route that contain the time points, route, and some major destinations. Schedules can also be obtained on the bus, at Culver City City Hall, the Culver CityBus Office, or by calling (310) 253-6500.

• For your safety, you may board and exit the bus only at designated bus stops. Designated stops have Culver CityBus signs that mark the passenger safety zones where you get on and off the bus.
• Make sure to arrive at the stop at least 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. When the bus is approaching, please sit or stand near the bus stop sign. This lets the bus operator know you are waiting for the bus.
• Signs on the front of the bus display the route number, the major streets the bus will be traveling on and the final destination.

All Culver CityBuses are equipped with bike racks. Bike racks are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If the bike rack is full, please wait for the next bus. Only foldable bikes are allowed inside buses.

Please alert the bus operator when loading or removing your bike from the bike rack and remain within the bus operator’s view. Bicyclists are responsible for securing their bikes onto the bike rack.

Culver CityBus is not liable or responsible for loss or damage to bicycles or personal injury that may occur as a result of using the racks.

Bikes not retrieved by owners will be placed in the Culver CityBus lost and found for 30 days.
