*By Daily Press staff*

As of last Sunday, all downtown Big Blue Bus buses returned to their regular routes.

The construction of the transit mall, which required lane closures and traffic detours, is now complete, and with the regular lanes of traffic open again, the buses returned to regular service.

Construction crews will be putting the finishing touches on the transit mall over the next few weeks — adding stainless steel and bronze bus signs, installing kiosks featuring large maps and touch screen information centers, and performing some light utility work. None of the construction will impact bus service.

All customers now can meet buses at their normal bus stops and all stops will be back to regular locations and times.

For maps, schedules, timetables or other information visit the company’s Web site at www.BigBlueBus.com, or call the customer service department at 310-451-5444.
