DASH service started operating in the Wilshire Center
area March 15. Unlike the Smart Shuttle buses, DASH
routes and schedules are fixed. Buses run every 30 minutes
along the area bounded by Vermont and Western avenues
and Third and Ninth streets.
DASH service runs from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. during the
week, and from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. The
fare is 25 cents per ride. MTA and senior passes are
accepted.
The DASH routes are designed to serve the Metro Rail
Red Line stations at Wilshire and Vermont and Wilshire
and Western. They have also been planned to accommodate
the needs of the neighborhood, particularly those of
the elderly and the disabled. Says Phil Aker, supervising
transportation planner of LADOT, "DASH routes are
designed to connect community activity points.
DASH buses pick up passengers only at designated DASH
stops. A timetable for the Wilshire Center DASH buses
is available through LADOT. Call 213-808-2273.
