Stay Away from LA on Sunday!

The annual LA Marathon is being held this Sunday, March 16, using the same route as last year -- the course begins at Dodger Stadium and ends in Century City at the intersection of Avenue of the Stars and Santa Monica Boulevard.

SERVICE IMPACTS

As usual, many of our bus lines will be partially detoured because of the race from 3 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday: Lines 2, 4, 10/48, 14/37, 16, 18, 20, 28, 30, 33, 40, 45, 53, 55, 60, 62, 70, 76, 78, 81, 90, 92, 94, 96, 105, 106, 180, 182, 204, 206, 207, 210, 212, 217, 218, 222, 224 (Owl), 233 (Owl), 460, 602, 603, 617, 720, 754, 761 and the J LINE.

We will be posting signage at all bus stops letting you know the nearest stop to catch your bus. Descriptions of all detour routes are here: https://alerts.metro.net -- click on the 'BUS' tab and the 'Upcoming' to see the detours.

Here are a few tips to help you get around Sunday:

•Allow extra time!

•Our Metro Rail A, B, D & E Lines are good alternatives to riding the bus -- trains are not impacted by the race. Use Google/Apple Maps, the Transit or Moovit apps or metro.net to plan your trip.

•Metro Bus Lines 2 (which runs on Sunset Boulevard) and 4 (which runs on Santa Monica Boulevard) are the most heavily impacted by the race and best avoided if you don’t want to deal with detours.

•To avoid the closure of Hollywood Boulevard that will impact many bus lines, please take the B Line between Hollywood/Western, Hollywood/Vine and Hollywood/Highland stations.

•If riding our bus lines that run in a north-south direction, try to start or end trips south of Santa Monica Boulevard to avoid detours.

•Many of the detoured bus lines will return to their regular routes once the race completely passes through that part of town. Street closures will first lift in DTLA.

•Our detoured lines will try to make stops at all intersections where it is safe to do so.
