The
Pacific Electric Railway was a mass transit system in Southern California using streetcars, light rail, and busses. At its greatest extent, the system connected cities in

The system was divided into three districts:
- Northern District; Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley, San Bernardino.
- Southern District; Long Beach, Newport, San Pedro, Santa Ana.
- Western District; Hollywood, Burbank/Glendale, San Fernando Valley, Santa Monica.
The Pacific Electric Railway was established by Henry Huntington in 1901 and operated until 1961.
