The LAX City Bus Center functioned as the main transit hub for buses serving Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). It was situated approximately from the Central Terminal Area on 96th Street, just east of Sepulveda Boulevard.
Connecting the terminals to the Bus Center, the complimentary LAX Shuttle route C began at Terminal 1 and traveled in a counterclockwise loop. This shuttle service was discontinued following June 6, 2025, aligning with the inauguration of the LAX/Metro Transit Center.
Several transit providers operated at the Bus Center: Beach Cities Transit line 109 offered service to Redondo Beach; Culver CityBus lines 6 and Rapid 6 served Culver City and UCLA; Los Angeles Metro Bus lines 102 (South Gate), 111 (Norwalk), 117 (Downey), and 232 (Long Beach) also stopped here; Big Blue Bus lines 3 and Rapid 3 provided access to Santa Monica; and Torrance Transit line 8 connected to Torrance. Additionally, overnight trips to Downtown Los Angeles were handled by Metro line 40.
Originally opened in 1984 near Sepulveda Boulevard, the Bus Center underwent reconstruction, resulting in a new $5.8 million facility unveiled on December 7, 2018. This redevelopment was undertaken to facilitate the construction of the LAX Automated People Mover. On June 6, 2025, all local bus routes were transferred to the newly established LAX/Metro Transit Center, which links directly to LAX terminals through the Automated People Mover system.
