UCLA commuters can expect improvements in service dependability and timeliness with the new adjustments. BBB's six different routes serving Hilgard Terminal and Gateway Plaza make it a convenient transportation choice for Bruins coming from the Westside.

Schedule and bus arrival information, and service alerts, can be conveniently accessed via Google Maps and the Transit app, further helping Bruins make their transit commute a smooth ride.
