Beach Cities Transit (BCT) is a public transit service operated through inter-municipal cooperation among the cities of Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Manhattan Beach, with additional service to El Segundo. The agency operates two bus routes that provide local service and connections to the broader Greater Los Angeles transportation network. Established in 2005, Beach Cities Transit was created to assume operation of lower-ridership routes previously managed by Los Angeles Metro. [3]
