El Monte Bus Station

El Monte Bus Station is large regional transport hub in the city of El Monte just off the Interstate 10 and the San Bernardino Freeways serving the Silver Line, Foothill Transit, Greyhound and also El Monte Transit. With 22,000 passengers and 1,200 bus departures daily the station is currently being doubled in size. During redevelopment a temporary 20 bay station is being used.^[1]

Layout

The entrance to the station is located at the corner of Santa Anita Ave and Ramona Boulevard. Just west of this station the transitway moves off the separate right of way and move into the middle of Interstate 10. The station has a 2,095 space park and ride lot, although that capacity has decreased as portions of the lot have been paved over for a "lower level" transit center for suburban buses, as opposed to the express buses and urban service which stops at the main terminal. The Division 9 bus yard is located next to the bus station, and buses coming into, or going out of service, enter and leave from that yard.

Current developments

The station is being redeveloped as part of the Metro ExpressLanes project^[2] by LACMTA and the City of El Monte's Redevelopment Agency and is scheduled for completion during July 2012.^[1]
