The Big Blue Bus operates a fleet of over 200 energy-efficient vehicles transporting more than 80,000 riders daily across a nearly 52-square mile service area. Nationally recognized for its longstanding commitment to a cleaner environment, the entire fleet operates on alternative fuels, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), which helps cut emissions by over 80 percent. Serving Santa Monica and the Los Angeles area since 1928, the Big Blue Bus has won numerous awards for its customer service, safety and efficiency.
