The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will continue public hearings over the next two weeks - including tonight in Redondo Beach - to gather comments about a public transit line that will run through parts of the South Bay.

Metro officials are evaluating the possibility of using a 26-mile-long freight rail corridor as a Bus Rapid Transit system, a light rail line or dedicated bus lanes.

The corridor stretches through El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Lawndale, Torrance and Carson.

The corridor could help link downtown to Los Angeles International Airport and Long Beach via a C-shaped curve through the county.

The first meeting was held Tuesday night. The second will be at 6 p.m. tonight at the Redondo Beach Main Library, 303 Pacific Coast Highway.

Another meeting will be at 6 p.m. Monday at Inglewood City Hall, 1 Manchester Blvd., in the community room.
