Script error: No such module "Infobox". Glendale Beeline is the municipal bus and paratransit service which serves the city of Glendale, California, United States. It provides service in Glendale, as well as parts of nearby Burbank, La Cañada Flintridge and La Crescenta-Montrose.[1] The service complements the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Metro Local routes along with Metro Express route 501, which connect Glendale to other parts of Los Angeles County.[1]

History

The Glendale Beeline was launched in December 1984,[2] and was Glendale's first municipal bus system since Glendale City Lines was overtaken by Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority in 1964.[3]

In 2009, a compressed natural gas filling station opened at the Glendale Transportation Center.[4]

In December 2013, Glendale Beeline became the first public transit agency in Los Angeles County to operate with all low-floor buses.[5]

In 2016, the City's Transportation and Parking Commission agreed on a plan to construct an administration building and a maintenance facility adjacent to the Glendale Transportation Center.[6] Construction began in 2018.[7]

By 2020, Glendale Beeline was facing criticism from environmentalists for relying on compressed natural gas vehicles instead of converting its fleet to electric buses.[8] The first electric Beeline bus debuted in 2025, with an additional twenty buses to be phased into the fleet over the following three years, backed by $34.6 million in grant funding from the California State Transportation Agency.[9]
