Keeping Our Communities Moving
“My job is important because a lot of people depend on us to get them from point A to point B. There are people who have no other choice besides public transportation, so it makes me feel good to know that we can help them out.”
 
One of LBT’s Bus Operators was recently interviewed by Long Beach Local News and discussed what it’s like to be on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing a safe transit option for our customers remains a priority for LBT and it could not happen without the hard work of our Bus Operators!

Virtual Museum Express
The Museum Express, a special summer service that takes customers to some of the area’s top destinations, is an annual highlight for many LBT customers. Unfortunately, the service had to be postponed this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there is no substitute for visiting great places around the region in person, here are some attractions you can visit virtually!
The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) has a wide selection in their digital collection and even features exhibition walkthrough videos.
Join the Aquarium of the Pacific for its online academy, where you will find on-demand videos and activities for all ages along with a schedule of live interactive programs with educators.
Passport to the Arts Summer Camp, hosted by the Arts Council for Long Beach, showcases the cultural and artistic traditions of prominent cultural groups in our community.

Service Continuing on Modified Schedule

There will be no regular service change in August. The current COVID-19 modified schedule is still in effect with buses operating 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Continuing Safe Practices

To protect customers and Bus Operators, LBT continues its enhanced cleaning processes. We ask our customers to do their part in protecting themselves and others by:
 
  • Wearing a face covering while onboard.
  • Boarding through the rear-door. Customers requiring special assistance can board through the front door.
  • While onboard, skip a seat and skip a row to stop the spread.

Visit our Bus Ride Basics page to learn more on how to ride safely with LBT.
