To our Culver CityBus family – we are devastated by the violent tragedy that took the life of a Culver CityBus operator. May their friends, family, and colleagues at Culver CityBus be carried by our collective support and love as they navigate grief and loss in the coming days.

Transit time is family time! It's safer than riding in a car, keeps you active, and gives you the opportunity for quality time with your loved ones.
A colorful graphic labeled "Transit time is family time". Box 1 has a graphic representing a bar chart: "road-safe -- You're three times more likely to get hurt riding in a car than taking the bus, say researchers. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-27/car-drivers-suffer-way-more-injuries-than-bus-passengers". Box 2 has foot prints: "active -- Walking to bus stops counts toward meeting the daily physical activity recommendations. https://europepmc.org/article/pmc/7483701”. Box 3 has a heart: “quality time – Instead of watching videos in the back seat, your child can spend the bus ride connecting with you.”
