Location

The Torrance Transit Center (officially the Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center) is a bus station in Torrance that serves as the city's transport hub. It opened on June 9, 2023. The station is planned to serve as the southern terminus of the Los Angeles Metro Rail K Line via a proposed extension.

History

The previous bus hub in Torrance, located at the Del Amo Fashion Center, ceased operation in 2005. Design and contracting of the new facility was rebooted in 2013 as initial designs did not adequately facilitate riders' needs. Ground was broken for the station in 2018. The transit center held a grand opening "open house" on June 9, 2023. Two days later, on June 11, Torrance Transit underwent a service-wide change in which Lines 1, Rapid 3, 4X, 5, 6, and 10 started servicing the new transit center.

Service

Seven Torrance Transit routes currently serve the Torrance Transit Center.
