Lakewood Center is also a ‘transit mall’
 Lakewood Center is also a major “transit mall” for Long Beach Transit (LBT) buses. The streets around the mall are a hub for popular north-south and east-west bus routes that take riders to destinations such as CSULB, downtown Long Beach, or the Blue Line for a light rail train ride into Los Angeles. Long Beach Transit provides regional bus service using air-conditioned buses on 38 routes. They run on many major Lakewood streets and include destinations in Long Beach, Lakewood and Signal Hill.
Most routes are operated seven days a week. All of Long Beach Transit's routes are wheelchair accessible. Surfboards six feet and under are welcome. Long Beach Transit has bike racks installed on all standard buses. Racks can be used in conjunction with a work commute or recreational outing.
