LA Metro Bus New Flyer XE60 Battery Electrics on [G] Orange Line BRT (Chatsworth to North Hollywood)

READ:
6 years after my initial visit to this line, we return to find that it has been electrified with NFI battery electric buses. Enjoy =)

That’s the sort of bus I’d like to get on! =D

[@rynxbybeat4426]

First and very good video would recommend more.

5:10 My goodness that sound was so efficient.

[@josiah_crazy7621]

I hope they add these buses to the silver line soon

[@waynewright2886]

Their just getting the 60 40 BYD Busses, the 5 BYD Artics included with the 60 Busses are going to the G Line to add with the 40 New Flyer Artic BEB's, Metro is Claiming that the BEB Artics have Weight Issues with the Batteries & the Weight has to be around 43,000 Pounds Maximum or Lesser.

Are these BRT lines exclusive to buses, or is other vehicle traffic permitted?

[@alexjenkins1079]

They're exclusive to buses

[@peterwelby]

Bus only

[@waynewright2886]

The Orange Line, now G Line was Constructed around 2002, on what used to be a Southern Pacific Line, opened in October 2005, afterwards the Canoga Station opened over a Year later around December 2006, the Chatsworth Extension to Connect Metrolink Ventura County line & Amtrak opened Early Summer of 2012, 24 Hour Service was Launched in 2 Phases, 1st to Reseda & later all the way to Chatsworth a Few Years ago, BEB Artics came in 2019.

It is indeed very nice! I`m enjoyed. How much a fare? Thanks

[@peterwelby]

$1.75 for bus or train

[@waynewright2886]

With Tap Card which is Required to Ride & Tap cause the G Line does not have Fare Boxes on the G Line, also with Tap you can get 2 Transfers with Tap card.

What is the cop on the motorcycle doing there? Checking the speed of the buses?

[@FanRailer]

More likely to enforce the bus-only nature of the bus-way

[@irnakkgd6364]

The E-bus has a similar sound to the Mercedes E-bus

[@eduardososa843]

It would be nice to have these buses operate on the [J] Silver Line.

[@nikkiiv9259]

literally why not just make it a trolley-bus? That seems like a much better option.

[@notXaragame3542]

Yeah especially with the planned conversion to light rail. But oh well this is LA, change always has to come glacially when it comes to transit

[@Sillykittycat951]

Its a tesla bus!

[@chrisvillanueva2456]

No it not
