Bus lines connecting Central Library to Red Line

All depart from the stop across Glenoaks, on the north side of Olive (adjacent to City office trailers)

96 - every 30 minutes (very roughly) - to Universal City station

  • Do not take a 96 that says Burbank Metrolink, since they don't go beyond the Metrolink station!
  • The 96 goes west on Olive, south on Buena Vista, west on Alameda, west on Riverside, south on Cahuenga to Lankershim.
  • The 96 is subcontracted by MTA to a small operating company, so the buses look different, and they keep running when MTA is on strike! They are also more casual than MTA about sticking to the schedule.

155 (formerly 152) - to Universal City station

  • hourly, X:06 until 6:06, then 7:11, 8:11, 9:19, 10:19
  • West on Olive, south on Victory, west on Alameda, west on Rievrside, south on Lankershim

183 - direct line to the NoHo station (25 min.)

  • hourly, just after the hour (varies oddly, see schedule)
  • West on Olive, north on Victory, west on Magnolia
  • Last of the night is at 8:03

The last bus of the night is a 155, just after 10:15

Bus lines from Central to downtown L.A.

All depart from the south (other) side of Olive, in front of Varon Chiropractic

92

  • In downtown L.A., goes south on Spring, north on Main; runs on Temple between Spring/Main and Glendale Blvd.

94 (394 limited)

  • Fastest (45-55 min.) and most frequent (at least 4 buses/hour before 7 p.m., 8/hour during rush hour)
  • San Fernando Road; in downtown L.A., runs on Hill
  • Note: the northbound 94 comes up Third instead of Glenoaks, stops by the courthouse. The northbound limited 394 stops on Third at Verdugo, then at Olive and San Fernando.

Glendale bus service

Glendale Beeline
Beeline routes are shown on the MTA system map.

  • The 92 goes down Brand Boulevard past the Galleria.
  • The 92, 94, 96 and 183 all intersect/overlap with Beeline routes:
