History

The previous bus hub in Torrance, located at the Del Amo Fashion Center, ceased operation in 2005.[4] Design and contracting of the new facility was rebooted in 2013 as initial designs did not adequately facilitate riders' needs.[4] Ground was broken for the station in 2018.[5] The transit center will host its grand opening "open house" on June 10, 2023.[6]

Service

Seven Torrance Transit routes will serve the new Torrance Transit Center: Line 1 between Del Amo Fashion Center and the Harbor Freeway station; Line R3 heading to Downtown Long Beach; Line 4X between Torrance and Downtown Los Angeles; Line 5 between Crenshaw Blvd and Pacific Coast Highway and El Camino College; Line 6 between Artesia station and Del Amo Fashion Center; Line 10 between Pacific Coast Highway and Crenshaw Blvd and Downtown Inglewood station; and Line 10X running between the transit center and the SoFi Stadium on game days.
