Completely forgot my bike on the bus and was worried what was going to happen to it. i waited for the next bus, where i had the pleasure to speak with Paula. She explained everything i could do and she even called her manager to see if any bikes were brought into the station. Just want to say thanks to Paula and I appreciate all the effort she put in to helping me out! And yes, I did get my bike back. It was still on the bus bike rack 4 hours later! read more

I called about inconsistencies in my TAP card usage history. It shows me riding a different line, in the opposite direction, from the bus I actually boarded. Plus, I get charged, when I am not supposed to get charged. No one could help me. They took my name and number and told me someone named Carmen would call me, "the next day." No one called me. This is an unprofessional organization, probably run by the same incompetents that create the traffic mess, in Culver City. read more

For a bus route that literally makes no turns and follows one road this bus really sucks. All buses arrive at the same time so why not just have the first bus tow the other three? I can't even ride to work in El Segundo because the bus stops in westchester for no logical reason. read more

Negative 5 stars. Culver municipal bus lines have become a real shit show. Especially the number 3 crosstown bus. It is so unreliable. Today I was at the Culver City transit center waiting for the 4:03 pm bus to Century City. A bus didn't show up until 4:35. It has been like this for a long while. I keep hearing there is a shortage of drivers. Culver City do something about it. This buses not showing on any lines is unacceptable to the ridership. read more

Standing in front of definitely the correct bus at the correct time, it's just sitting there the woman says she is on break, meanwhile on Google maps they are falsely claiming that The bus is leaving right now. The bad reputation is well deserved read more

Operator ID: 390 is unprofessional. She complained about being behind schedule so to get back on track, she's going 70mph down Pico and not stopping when requested. When passengers tell her she missed her stop, she slams on brakes then stops in the middle of the street, then curses at the passenger, didn't wait until passenger got off the bus before taking off.. Not safe for passengers or drivers. This driver is a joke! If someone got hurt not only will City of Culver City be liable but she will be also. Maybe she was having a bad day, not a good idea to be behind the wheel of a bus. The service is getting worse on public transportation. Unfortunately for some, it's their only way to get to work. read more

Thanks to a very good driver and nice lady operator #302 on cc1 transit Washington and fairfax

Normally the bus is here on time, but today it is 85° and there is no bus in sight. I've looked on every scheduled live schedule app that I could find and it keeps saying 5 minutes. 10 minutes 17 minutes delayed delayed over and over again. I am 35 minutes late for work, it'd too hot to sit here and wait for a bus that lies. I'm not finna sit here and pay to get on a late bus. read more

I'm sitting at he bus stop and the driver just passed right by me. He stopped at the light, so I approached the bus to try and get in. At first he refused to look at me, then he finally just shook his head at me then looked forward. When people depend on public transportation to get to work on time and ars at the mercy of whether the bus operator feels like picking you up or not, its very unprofessional. read more

The Culver City bus is never on time and is highly infrequent. CC 3 occasionally always every 45 minutes, but is more like 53 minutes. Theres also no wifi, which is free on the Metro. However, the buses are clean and the drivers are nice. A lot of planning is needed. read more

Culver city buses need to do better. I usually ride line 6 and line 1. They need to come up with a new Shedule. Line 6 is usually up to 15min late, many times during the afternoon they'll skip a time schedule. Line 2, regardless if no ones at the stop waiting and the bus is running early... they need to stop, for I missed it few times according to traffic light because line 2 is passing the stop 2min early. read more

I learned of the Culver City Bus once when waiting for a Santa Monica Big Blue Bus in Venice and noticing the frequent appearances of the 1 bus. On later trips I sampled these green buses, most notably when a Priceline "Santa Monica zone" motel turned out to be a distant Super 8 in Culver City. They are reasonably reliable. The schedule is not super-high-octane but they usually are on time. Not to get too far but the brevity and limited hours of Culver City Bus, compared with the LA buses, makes them less convenient for the long haul but also makes them more pleasant as no one lives on them. The rapid lines are quite impressive. When poor planning left me with a great distance to travel in a brief time (from Westwood to the South Bay), a Rapid 6 driver did a brilliant job navigating Sepulveda to the LAX bus center. Not the most famous of bus systems in a region not known for glamorous mass transit, Culver City Bus will probably be a rising star since it connects to the western-expanding Expo Line train. read more

Worst bus line in LA. They have posted schedule times that they never make. There is always 3 - 4 bus piled up that headline "Not in Service". The last Rapid 6 runs at 720pm if your waiting anytime before then you can basically forget about it. Ive only known this bus route to run somewhat regular in the mornings till about 9 o'clock Am after that it is very sporadic. This has been an issue for years. I don't know if it's the lazy drivers at this point or what. I hope this reaches someone. read more

I'd like to thank the Culver City and Santa Monica Big Blue buses for providing me an alternative to renting a car. Come on... $30 / day versus $1.50 / day = major dinero I don't need to be spending. There isn't much of West Los Angeles you can't get to using the combined transits of the Big Blue and the Culver City buses. From UCLA to LAX via Culver 6 requires only one bus. $0.75 one way. Door to door service. There's always plenty of room on the buses. The only people who are standing are the ones who choose to be. But there are moments of congestion during peak hours when people are on their way to work or getting off work and heading home. In that case... have your mp3 player handy and meditation helps. You might have to prepare yourself for abnormal body odor (especially on rainy days --- some wet people smell worse than wet dogs) and people who take up 1.5 seat spaces. On my way to work one day, the bus got unusually crowded and seats were limited. Then entered, this larger than average lady who decided to sit next to me and spilled over to my side. Yes... spilled over. She was hanging over to my space. Her arms were pressed onto mine and our spares met in mid-air. Not the most pleasant experience I've had in my life, but I was willing to deal with it. But as our journey began, she slowly became "comfortable". With every turn, she nudged closer and closer and pressed herself against me. I fought the urge to tell her to back off. And trying to be the gentleman that I am, I tried to sit very still and not offend her by re-adjusting my posture. I kept thinking of my exit and counted off the remaining stops. But of course salvation only came one stop before mine when the pudgy lady exited. I finally had my space back and for one last stop, I was enjoying the hassle-free commute.. Mind you, this experience has not hindered my opinion of the Big Blue and the Culver City buses. They're great for getting around in West LA. I highly recommend it and it could be a good break from commuting. Not to mention, gas prices are now above 3 bucks a gallon and rising. read more

Disgusting bus service with obnoxious drivers trained to be Belligerent towards passengers -- that's been my experience with the Culver City Bus Company. read more

Look, I read Shawn H's response, which was entitled as hell. I get it. Bus drivers are people. Got it. Do your job better. Culver buses are rarely on time. That's the bottom line. Sometimes they leave too early, which is extremely problematic. I was walking to the bus one time and it came a full 5 minutes before it was supposed to. I've taken the bus in other major cities, they run on time just fine, because they have systems in place to make sure people get to their stops on time. If the bus is early, it stops somewhere and waits a bit to catch up. Do CC buses not do this? I don't know but the fact is they need to figure out this problem. read more

I wish they would make it mandatory for riders to keep their mask on while on the bus. The pandemic is still here, please protect the riders and drivers. Some passengers are boldly taking their mask off, while talking on their cellphones. We can do better! read more

Culver City Bus - Public Transportation Near Me - Culver City, California

This really is a 1-star rating for the service. It only gets a 2-star because of the cleanliness of the busses in comparison to other regional busses. First of all, the web site with the routes is ridiculously confusing. You basically have to call to make any sense of what bus to take to get to your destination. Secondly, when you do call, you're likely to get someone with an attitude or uninformed. Customer service is an issue ON the bus as well. My daughter - a frequent user - has told me stories of the bus driver practically closing the door on students, for who knows what reason. This has happened specifically to my son, where he was running to catch the bus and the bus left him. Mind you, the bus was early when he was running to catch it. As others have mentioned, unreliable schedule. Lastly, the routes themselves are inadequate. The Expo station is a great resource but it's very difficult to get there by bus. To get across town but within city limits you may have to transfer. Why should you have to transfer if you're still within the small town of Culver City?? It's not like it's a huge city... Anyway, I hope they improve because it could be a great resource for the community. read more

The buses are never on schedule. The buses are clean but every single time I've taken the bus at night, they are late! How are they late at night when there is no traffic or anything! More accountability of your drivers please. Why even have the schedule posted anywhere if they are never on time? read more

I actually witnessed a Culver City Bus Driver cuss out a rider. She used every four letter word in the book at this poor woman over a dime. The poor girl wasn't trying to stiff the system. In fact, her pants were just too damn tight. So tight, she couldn't get the last dime out of her pocket. She asked for a transfer, and the bus driver started yelling at her that she did not pay enough. The woman had mistakenly left the last DIME in her pocket. She finally fished it out of the pants that were clearly cutting off the blood flow to her feet. The bus driver cussed and cussed the entire rest of the way. It was embarrassing. As soon as I got to campus, I called the bus station to report the driver. Needless to say, they did not care. That was evident when they didn't ask for the bus number, the driver's name, or any other type of identifying information. The heard what I had to say, then said, "Thank you, we will look into it." followed by a CLICK. I bought a car the next weekend. read more

My job. Fare is still only $1 regular .75.for students and. 35 for senior or disabled. Transfers for MTA or Big Blue Bus are. 40 and. 20 for senior or disabled. To transfer to another Culver.City bus it's a quarter regular and ten cents for elderly or disabled. Please have your fare ready so we can move along. Time is of the essence as an operator. If there is traffic we May not be able to go to the restroom or eat for hours. read more

Recently I have started using public transportation. I have been on the Metro and also the Culver City Bus. The Metro is horrible compared to this bus. I usually take Bus 3 which goes to Century City. I love it because I do not have to drive out there. I save a ton a money on gas. I do not have to pay a lot of money for the limited parking Century City has to offer. Lastly, I do not have to sit in traffic. The Culver City Bus is wonderful for the following reasons: 1- Plenty of stops, not only in Culver City but also all the cities adjacent to Culver City. 2- The buses are big and there are always seats available. 3-Very clean!! The Metro bus is so nasty. I always feel dirty when I come off, but that is not how I feel when I get off the Culver City Bus. 4- EVERY SINGLE stop is announced. This is great especially for a rookie like me. 5- Fare is $1.00 and $0.25 for transfer. 6- Bus drivers are nice...they actually like their jobs. I am always afraid of asking the Metro drivers a question about a stop because I feel like they will bite my head off...The Culver City drivers are always helpful and nice. 7-Buses run frequently ....at least the routes I usually take. Culver City Bus is the best! read more

Awful service. Extremely rude female drivers on line 3, very incompetent with zero empathy. I almost injured my baby while on the bus because the stupid moron driving wouldn't allow me to break down the stroller on the bus and I had to carry my baby in one hand and dismantle the stroller and carry it over the step with the other!! The baby arched backwards and almost fell. The driver kept yelling and closed the bus door on me with the baby!!! I said I'll call to complain and luckily they picked up and then she got a call from her supervisor. Not sure if she'll get a suspension for this but I'm sure going to pursue this till I get justice !! read more

Now that I'm living green, and not by choice, I've taken the bus everywhere. It's on-time and it's cheap. Currently $0.75 for basic fare and $0.25 for an inter agency transfer (can be used on BBB and MTA I believe). The bus broadcasts the next stop so you won't miss your stop (just don't fall asleep). I've taken 6 that runs up and down Sepulveda. The only issue is it's pretty much crowded at all times. During rush hours, depending on your stop, you could be standing. Not sure if that's the case for other buses. The buses are clean and there isn't a pervasive homeless problem like the BBB. read more

This Bus service is relatively clean with decent routes around the silicon beach area. However, the main reason for the low stars is because the bus does not use open source data so there is no accountability or live time updates for the buses to be on schedule and route. Very low fidelity for the intended bus schedule. The main line 6 down sepulveda is relatively on time, but the 1 is rarely on time. Numerous times I have stood waiting for the bus for over 40 minutes despite the fact thatI was standing there well before the scheduled time. I am writing this review now because this needs to be changed or revised at the city government level. This is very inconvenient and no one is held accountable. Culver City is a relatively small city government and seems to be running things well at many other levels. I think transportation is a key area that can be quickly elevated and transformed along with the new culver metro station remodel; it would be very advantageous to become open source. The big blue bus and LA city metro both use open source data so that individuals can see where buses are. This is useful, especially in the case that buses do not run according to schedule. I have no problem with waiting every 20-30 minutes if that is the way the service is designed but it is not. If it is more convenient for management and employees to run every fifteen minutes or thirty minutes in the later evenings without a set schedule, then that would be useful. There should be some sort of system for consistency. Right now I am late for an event, after having rushed my dinner because I wanted to catch the bus as scheduled with enough buffer time. None of the 3 scheduled buses passed by. Please Culver City Transportation, become open source. read more

I used to bash on Los Angeles's public transportation system because of the time I got stranded at the bus stop late at night and had to hitchhike my way home with some nice foreigners. However, I decided to put my bad experience with the Metro line behind me, and took a chance on Culver City Bus #6. Not only did I successfully get to where I was going with a mere .75 cents, but #6 was exactly on schedule - down to the minute! Impressive. read more

The 3 is the absolute worst. Drivers are rude, they ignore you, and sometimes the buses don't even show up!! It'll have you waiting 30 min for a bus to not even show up. They should at least notify passengers on the transit app that it won't show up... read more

I'm a special education teacher who works in Culver City and loves taking her students out into the community. I've been doing so for 9 years now. And in those 9 years, we have taken many a bus trip and seriously, every single bus driver that we've had, has been super amazing. My kids are learning, so they often take a while boarding the bus, cannot find the appropriate coin slot, jam up the machine (sorry!), don't have their change in hand- despite my constant efforts to ensure that they do, etc etc. But these drivers (and their patrons) are more than patient and super helpful. Mad props for what you do! The highlights: *Patient drivers *Clean buses *Plenty of stops *Always on time *Air conditioned buses *$1.00 bus fare for adults *Culver City Bus now takes TAP cards, which is going to make my life and my students sooooo much easier. read more

Bus driver left me at my bus stop... Fail. It's hit or miss. Sucks when they arrive at the bus stop earlier than normal. Now I have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for the next one. I normally transfer from the SMBB 12 to 3 GB at Pico. read more

Our first trip on Culver City Bus came leaving the Annenberg Space Museum of Photography in Century City. We took the 5 p.m. Route 3 bus home, dropping us off just two blocks from our base of operations. Talk about convenience and this was only the beginning. Culver City operates seven different routes. The big green state of the art "green" buses charge only $1 for adults and 35 cents for seniors 62 or older per ride. Unlike other LA systems, you can purchase a one additional ride transfer for just 35 cents, 10 cents for a senior. We rode routes 1, 3, 6, and 7 during our stay. Every bus was clean, every driver courteous and all but one bus on time. All total we rode 7 buses. This is California's second oldest bus company. You can get to UCLA, LAX, Culver City downtown and Expo Station and the Culver City Mall among its destinations. Take our LA Trip, click onto my photo. End of day 2 of 9. Start at 2/10/14. read more

Culver City Bus is an incredibly inconsistent transit operator that needs to either get with the program or cede its service to either Big Blue Bus or LA Metro. The 6/Rapid 6 route definitely needs to be turned over to LA Metro immediately because CCB definitely cannot handle the demand. On top of that, it is incredible how in 2019, Culver City Bus does not have open source GPS tracking like essentially every other transit operator. The technology has been around for years! Raise fares if you have to, but if you're not going to run service on time, and without the necessary articulated buses or frequency, why bother existing at all? read more

Culver City Bus - 2 number 1 buses in a row. Where did that bus come from. I sure didn't pass Abott Kinney going east. - Public Transportation Near Me - Culver City, California

CulverCity Bus is the greatest public transportation department I've had the pleasure to ride. The Buses are always clean and comfortable. The operators are so professional especially the afternoon drivers on line 7 and 4. read more

The #1 bus tends to be fine, but the #6 and Rapid 6 are nightmares. Always late, always horribly overcrowded, not scheduled as often as they need to be. At rush hour it's not uncommon for buses to be so crowded that they cannot be boarded or to no-show completely. By the time the southbound buses get to Santa Monica Boulevard and Sepulveda (very early on the route) they're packed to the doors. Worse: the 6 and R 6 are the only buses that run on Sepulveda between LAX and UCLA, so you're stuck taking them. Culver CityBus's drivers can't control traffic or the number of people who ride the bus, but management needs to do better. These buses should run way more often -- the local 6 usually runs only every 20 minutes during the day and only once an hour at night, which probably contributes a lot to the unbearable overcrowding. And they need to invest in some articulated buses, as Metro and Big Blue Bus have done. read more

I want to rate this bus line higher, because of the price and the fact that, when run well, it can get me almost anywhere I need to go. Unfortunately, I've just had too many terrible experiences to give it a better rating. More than once, I've been injured because of irresponsible drivers. In once incident, I received a head injury because a bus driver took off without warning, not even giving me time to grab onto something. I slammed my head into one of the metal bars. The driver had been incredibly rude right off the bat, as well. In hindsight, I should have filed a complaint, but I was just too stunned (and in too much pain) to even think about following up, and it's been more than a year since that happened. Tonight, I had a similar experience. I had gotten on the bus behind someone, and the bus driver yelled at me to get all the way on the bus. I went forward as much as I could, but I'm not a ghost, I can't just go through people (I'd be abusing the hell out of that ability if I had it!), and without even giving me a second to, you know, say or do anything, he yelled at me again. Second I paid, he sped off, not giving either of us a chance to sit down or grab onto anything, and I slammed my leg into - you guessed it! - a metal bar. A leg that has already been injured twice this year at my own place of employment, at which I easily spend 8+ hours standing on my feet, so you can imagine, I'd also be pretty tired after such a long day. I work in customer service. I get it, customers can be ignorant, they can be rude, they can be downright violent at times. I've seen it all. That's still not an excuse to actually risk seriously injuring someone. I have a red welt on my leg now from hitting it on the pole, and since I have to stand at my job, that's an issue. If I'm not able to stand tomorrow, I don't work, which means I don't get paid. I've also, like other reviewers, had major issues with the buses not coming on time, coming too early, coming too late, etc. There've been times where I've waited an hour or more for buses to come. If the green line was run better, and the bus drivers were less rude, it would easily beat the other bus lines. It's the only one I can take to work, so I'm stuck with it. And it's a shame because there have been some good bus drivers, so it's not like all of them are awful. I wouldn't even say half of them are bad. But I've had too many experiences with bus drivers injuring passengers, and not even just me, because of their carelessness. read more

I love the Culver City Bus. I take the #6 to UCLA and to LAX regularly and I occasionally jump on the #3 to Century City Mall. It's cheap and reliable. For those who have had a bad experience with a driver, just imagine what they have to put up with on a daily basis and cut them some slack. I want to explode after 10 minutes of westside driving and they are doing it all day long. Culver City is much faster going to UCLA than Santa Monica Big Blue Bus. It gets crowded at rush hour but what doesn't? Plus being able to ride them to LAX saves an insane amount of money from parking and stress from finding someone to give you a ride. The best! read more
