All-Door Boarding Expansion
Metro strives to be the nation’s leader in transit innovation.
All-Door Boarding (ADB) pilot program intends to reduce bus stop dwell times and variability, by allowing customers with valid TAP cards to enter at all doors.
The 6 month Silver Line All-Door Boarding (ADB) pilot program has proven to be successful that results in faster boarding through more efficient fare collection.
The Silver Line All-Door Boarding pilot serves as a great example for innovation and evidence-based results throughout the agency.
With the evaluation from the pilot program, Metro now has the framework on expanding All-Door Boarding to new lines across Los Angeles County.
