About These Maps:#
Each map shows bus (and rail, if applicable) speeds for City of Torrance, with a map each for the morning peak, midday, and afternoon peak periods on August 14 2024 (Wednesday).
On the map, routes are split into segments corresponding to the distance between two stops, allowing you to focus on specific portions of the route experiencing a slowdown.
Route segments are arrow-shaped to indicate direction of travel. Thicker segments indicate more frequent transit routes.
State Highway Network routes are outlined in gray.
Hover over, a segment with your mouse to see the exact speed, route name, and transit service frequency in that segment.
Higher-frequency routes (3+ trips per hour) are especially important, since those slowdowns correspond to more vehicles, and riders, delayed in traffic.
