Beach Cities Transit is an inter-municipal agency provides mass transportation for the Beach Cities of Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Manhattan Beach, as well as El Segundo. The two routes provide both local service and afford a variety of opportunities to connect with the rest of the Greater Los Angeles Transportation grid. The system began in 2005, taking over lower-ridership routes from Los Angeles Metro.[3] In 2023, the system had a ridership of 255,500, or about 800 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2024.
