The Long Beach Transit provides transportation to more than 29 million riders who consist of the citizens of Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, Artesia, Bellflower, Carson, Cerritos, Compton, Hawaiian Gardens, Norwalk, Paramount and Seal Beach. Due to cuts in state funds local transportation has been downsized. CSULB students who have been using the U-Pass program are now obligated to wait longer for busses, which delays the time they need to get to classes or work. Route 181-182 and Passport B/4th Street will be arriving every 30 minutes in the evening, whereas the prior wait was only 15 minutes. Passport C/Pine Ave. now docks every 20 minutes and Route 172/PCH-Palo Verde has been limited to Monday through Friday, daytime hours only. According to the Daily 49er, President and CEO of Long Beach Transit, Larry Jackson states that the limitations in the service will not severely affect the quality of service for riders.
