I am very happy to have this bus line to ride this bus service. No problems. Some stops on El Segundo have homeless encampments around them.

And just like LA Metro, G Trans also has a homeless issue filthying up the buses and bus stops. They do nothing to enforce fare payments. While safety is an issue when enforcing fare payments, majority of the bus drivers don't care to report rowdy and dangerous vagrants on the buses. I'm at the bus stop on 120th Street/Compton Ave and there are soiled garments on the ground and it smells like feces at this bus stop. This is a symptom of failure of city services and the government at large. read more

See all

People, we need to stop bashing the drivers. The drivers look overworked, stressed, and overwhelmed. When I see this, most of the time it's coming from the top. This means those that are in charge, for example, the city managers, directors, and all the above that's running the show from behind the scenes. We should stand behind the drivers and support them, not talk about them and bash them! If they have a union, they should request a sit down or open investigation from the top. This company has so many complaints on at least two platforms. The answer is not providing free rides for the passengers. Again, let's support not bash! Especially in this climate we are dealing with right now! Please, we need to support the drivers at Gardena, GTrans!! :) read more

Do you love not knowing when the bus is coming? Do you love being stuffed with other passengers to the point you cant move? Other bus companies drivers too nice? Then Gtrans is the bus for you. With all of the consistency of a diarrhetic. Truly the best Bus company. Why plan, when you can wait listlessly? "We're never on time, and have 2-3 buses all within a block of each other.(if we ever show up)"- Gtrans Oh we almost forgot to spit on you, hawk tuah! read more

One of the WORST transit buses in LA. I used to take to take line 3 often growing up, it used to run every 15 minutes, now you're lucky if it even runs every 30. Like other people have said, you NEVER know when the bus is coming, it's supposed to run every 30 minutes, but more often than not, it's AT LEAST 10 minutes late or worse, you miss it BECAUSE ITS EARLY. It's so incredibly frustrating. Also, the girl who drives the last bus Westbound (from Compton to Redondo beach & Western) is really unfriendly, I've never experienced drivers being rude except for her AND surprise, surprise, she's always late too. I'm writing this review because I'm sick and tired of this transit system being so broken. Riders deserve better. read more

The worst bus line in LA, we are in 2024 and still NEVER ON TIME. Do not trust in their schedules. Drivers are so rude.

The number 2 Gardena line always runs late. Today for example the schedule shows it runs every 30 minutes. I have been waiting an hour and a half. 2 nights ago the last bus never came. Something needs to be addressed because there are many people waiting who rely on public transportation. read more

Horrible, buses are almost never on time or show up when I try to look up times on moovit, which is supposed to be live time. There are times when I'm waiting almost a hour for wait times. I can understand 10 minutes or so or a once in a while thing. But this is a issue almost every single day. Since the pandemic, they use rope or plastic chains to block off certain seats for social distance for passengers, this is fucking ridiculous. You're taking away seats from passengers, and have alot of people standing pushing against each other. How is that social distancing?? Some people have to get kicked off the bus and wait for the next one, which you'll wait a very long time for. Sadly this is my only option to work, or else I'm walking about 45 minutes just to connect to another bus read more

It does not come the time it needs to be here. Had to wait 30 minutes when google maps say 2 buses were suppose to come. Always late!

does not even deserve a star this bus line 2 gardena is always late for like an hour especially between 4-6pm

I had a very rude female driver. Very unprofessional, angry and ugly. She definitely needs more training.

One star really? I don't take the bus regularly, but since my car was being repainted I decided to use GTrans for a few errands here and there. I found the drivers to be really nice if you take the time to say hello. Sure they aren't always on time, but traffic dictates that. Even so, I have never waited more than 15 minutes, because the routes aren't very long. Next time you ride the #2 bus, be sure to say hi to "Beans"! read more

This city bus is the worst of the worst. I recently took this bus for the first time in a very longtime and they are NEVER on time, don't have accurate schedules, and they sewn up to date. Torrance bus website has current transit time. This is what they need. read more

the water policy for the Gardena transit bus is ridiculous. i had a starbucks cup of water (clear cup) and the driver would not let me on the bus with the cup of water (it had top and a straw) because of the "bus policy". this policy is very inconsiderate for public commuters considering that water is meant to hydrate and it is an easy cleanup of spilled. Not to mention, this is in the month of June therefore indicating the exceptionally warm climate. If a passenger were to pass out on a Gardena transit bus from heat exhaustion and dehydration because of this policy, Garden transit bus would be in a world of hurt. read more

I've been riding public transit for over 30 years and when it comes to Gardena transit, they're horrible!! The bus drivers are ALL so rude!! They act like they really don't want to drive bus. Most of them are very unfriendly and lack the proper people skills needed when dealing with the public. I have no choice but to take the bus! Lighten up and smile read more

#1 bus from downtown on 4/18/17 at 8am. Second time with her as the driver. She has the worst attitude ever. I feel ashamed for Gardena that you fail to see that you employ someone like her. If you actually read reviews and care about the service your drivers provide, message me. To the driver - go find a job where you don't need to interact with people. People are on the bus and just need to get around. If you work for Gardena, take some pride in your work and find out who I am talking about. read more

I've been using the #2 GTrans for a week now. I'm grateful to say that I've had a great experience. My bus driver "Juan" bus #766 is Awesome! He's professional, courteous & personable, which is greatly appreciated. I hear him greet, assist & explain stuff to passengers as if he sincerely likes and appreciates what he does. He has a strong, admirable work ethic, and it helps my day start of right and pleasant. Thanks for your service! read more

The entire Gardena bus line is unreliable when it comes to their time schedule. They are usually a few minutes late, and there have even been a few times I've tried to ride the Gardena bus where it didn't show up at all and I had to wait until the next scheduled bus arrived and even those buses sometimes where not on time. At least the metro bus will give you an accurate location of where they are, even if they're not on schedule. read more

Do not rely on this bus line if you have a schedule to keep. They tried a few months ago to stick to a schedule and all that ended up doing is making things worse. They would drive so fast and careless that at times I was scared to be on the bus. I dont think they take into account that the passengers are either standing or are seated without seatbelts.. They started driving as if they were the only ones on the bus and they needed to get to the next checkpoint. They would yell at the younger passengers about hurrying to board the bus when it clearly wasn't necessary. If the bus was standing room only (even if it there was plenty of room for more comfortably) they would take advantage of that and skip stops with people waiting to board. I observed this and was a victim of it. If you plan to take the bus to get to work in the morning make sure not to take the #2 which goes to Gardena High. They have a few dedicated busses that ONLY take students there but that does not stop the REGULAR #2 bus drivers from claiming that they are not going past Gardena High in order to avoid letting people on when there is clearly enough room. After the second time they tell you this they dont even bother stopping at your stop. They will drive past it, in my case across the intersection, to drop off anyone getting off the bus. One day in particular I had 4 #2 busses avoid stopping for me and the others at my stop. 2 of them were labeled as Gardena High and the other 2 were not yet they claimed they were. If you call to complain it falls on deaf ears. I have heard countless drivers complain about their "new white boss" that just came in and changed everything. If I was a bad person I would have recorded it and sent it to them. The things they talk about with 20+ people sitting behind them is unreal. There is one female bus driver in particular that seems to be racist in the strangest way. It is not that she says anything, It is her actions behind the wheel of the bus that lead me to this conclusion. I always wondered why she would never stop with the door accessible within a few feet from where I was standing (in front or beside the bench) when most drivers seem to be very skilled at stopping the bus very precisely. One saturday I decided to take the #2 around its full route to see what it was like. The bus is supposed to pass every 15 minutes or so according to the schedule that day. I waited about 45 minutes and got lucky when the driver happened to be this particular racist female driver. I was standing in between the bench and the bus stop sign. She managed to stop so that the back door was closer to me than the front. I dont mind walking but it seemed strange that she always does this to me. I sat and just took a nice drive. We stopped at the Artesia Transit Station and a female passenger who I am sure had been waiting at the very least for 45 minutes (as i was) for this bus attempted to board with a transfer that had just expired. The driver not only made her pay the full fare but when the passenger asked her why the transfer was no good she began to talk to her as if she was an ignorant kid with no sense. It was uncomfortable for the passengers to hear this driver raise her voice at the passenger in a very condescending way telling her that she should have made sure that the transfer didnt expire before the next bus arrived. It was another one of those moments I wish I would have recorded. The bus continued and I began to notice that when any passenger of another race than herself was at a stop she would not stop with the door anywhere near them. They would always have to walk at least 1/2 the distance of the bus to get to the door. When people of her race were at the stop she could magically put the door in front of them or within inches of their centerlines matching up. I was in awe and thought it was a fluke but after seeing it over and over I was sure that it wasn't a coincidence. I wondered what made her such an a-hole that she couldnt control her emotions and racial bias while working with the public and I think I may have found out the answer to one of those. When the bus made the turn back onto Vermont, in a not so nice part of gardena, some very rude passengers finally boarded the bus. The whole ride was calm for the most part, minus the transfer incident. The people who got on were very rude, loud and one didnt even bother to pay. When the driver told him to pay his fare he told her to shut up. Two others that boarded were trying to use a metro card (not the EZ transit pass) to ride the gardena line. She told them they couldn't and they also ignored her and sat in the back. Those 2 along with the guy that didnt bother to pay went on and on, very loudly, about how that "stupid b!+ch has no clue what she be doing". I could now understand why she, in turn, was such an a-hole to passengers that weren't so big and menacing. The racial bias when stopping her bus properly is something I have not yet cracked. read more
