The El Monte Busway is an 11-mile (18 km) shared-use bus corridor (transitway) and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane running west along Interstate 10 (San Bernardino Freeway) from Interstate 605 and El Monte Station in El Monte, California, via transitway stations at California State University Metro Station, USC Medical Center Metro Station into Downtown Los Angeles and its terminus at Union Station.
Together with the Harbor Transitway it forms a key part of the Metro Silver Line bus rapid transit line which is one of Metro Transitway lines. The busway is also served by three Metro Express routes and several Foothill Transit bus services which nearly all of the routes only run on weekday peak periods. The busway now carries 16,000 bus passengers per day with 49 buses using the system each hour at peak times and was described by the United States Department of Transportation as one of the most successful HOV facilities in the country in 2002. The Metrolink San Bernardino Line runs parallel to the El Monte Busway for almost its entire length.
