I spotted bus 4408 along side Cesar Chavez at yard a GMC RTS @Alika.valdez1234That bus is restored SCRTD/LACMTA 1982 GMC RTS T7J604 and this bus will soon be 40 years old. According to Wikipedia, this bus was retired in 2008 and this unit was originally delivered with the Allison V730 transmission during the SCRTD days until LACMTA replaced their original V730s with V731s during their last refurbishment with the Luminator Horizon Headsigns. Hope you will be able to catch 4408 at the LACMTA Roadeo later this year including the Old SCRTD Buses from 1964-1993 when the Covid-19 Pandemic passes over.

What sense does that make? If they have a fleet shortage, why are they retiring buses at all? These NABI 31LFW (2Gs) are only 12 years old, which had it been somewhere else like say New York, that would be the retirement age for many of our CNGs, but CNG to you folks is like your bread and butter.

Glennwood Road Ent. Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Found this one from Federal Transit Administration The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will receive $104.1 million to buy approximately 160 battery-electric buses to replace older compressed natural gas buses as well as charging equipment. The project will improve safety, air quality and reliability for residents and visitors to the Los Angeles metropolitan area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Transit Prod. Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Not trying to make this seem biased or anything like that, but I don't like Metro's new BYD K9Ms for the J (Silver) Line, for three reasons. One, the buses are fairly new yet the operators have trouble with the buses before even starting service. Two, how are you going to call the J Line an "All Door Boarding line" when you have unlock back doors (the yellow tapes you would see on the back doors, like on LBT, GTrans, Culver CityBus. etc.)? Three, why would you buy more BYDs when the first BYDs didn't work? (The line 18 incidents) Metro is making a real bad decision with this, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly was never a fan of the BYD K9Ms tbh. Imo LACMTA should've gotten the XE40s or XE60 Charge versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrtdfan80 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 The "Nextgen" bus plan is not really next generation. Metro wanted to cut the 460, a vital route for people traveling between DTLA and Orange County. Then they tried to make the Wilshire Bl/Vermont Av rapids(720/754) rush hour only. Metro Board should not mess with the 720/754 until they extend the Purple Line to Santa Monica and work on a BRT or heavy/light rail line on Vermont Av. One of the only good things to come out of the Next Gen bus plan was the revival of line 761. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
