Long Beach Transit is at the leading edge of mass transit technology, utilizing low emission engines, safer performing vehicles and the TranSmart global satellite tracking system. Long Beach Transit also operates the 49-passenger AquaBus water taxi and the 75-passenger AquaLink water taxi.

The AquaBus is a bright red 40-foot boat that ferries up to 49 passengers to some of Long Beach’s most popular attractions along the waterfront. The AquaBus stops at the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Queen Mary, Shoreline Village Parker's Lighthouse, Catalina Landing, Pine Avenue Circle and the Hotel Maya. It’s also wheelchair accessible at most docking locations and only costs $1 per person to ride.

The AquaLink is brightly colored 68-foot catamaran that ferries up to 75 passengers. It travels between the Long Beach Harbor and Alamitos Bay Landing for just $5 per person.

Long Beach Transit’s water taxis take advantage of the city’s coastal location and make it possible to get to some of the area’s most popular attractions without having to worry about parking or traffic. In fact, with Long Beach Transit’s extensive travel system, you can get just about anywhere you want to go in the region without getting behind the wheel yourself.

Long Beach Transit is in the process of adding 60-foot "super" buses to its fleet, which seat twice as many passengers and reduce overall traffic congestion. All of Long Beach Transit's 220 buses have been modernized to use ultra-low emission fuels. Long Beach Transit is also in the process of implementing 27 hybrid electric buses which are 50% more fuel-efficient and equipped with on-board diagnostic computers. And in the near future, the TranSmart tracking system will be available to passengers via the internet for precise timing of bus trips.

Long Beach Transit serves 28 million annual customers with its buses, water taxis, and Dial-A-Lift services.
