Culver CityBus is a public transport agency operating in Culver City, California, currently serving Culver City, the unincorporated community of Marina del Rey, and the adjacent Los Angeles neighborhoods. Its regular fleet is painted bright green and its rapid fleet primarily a chrome gray, distinguishing it from Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus, orange-colored Metro Local buses, and red-colored Metro Rapid buses, whose coverage areas overlap on Los Angeles's Westside.
Culver CityBus and Big Blue Bus were founded in 1928, making them the oldest municipal transit agencies in California.
Within its service area of around 33 square miles, the Culver CityBus provides service to the communities of:
Culver CityBus operates 3 daily routes, 3 weekday-only routes, and 2 Monday-Saturday routes within Los Angeles County. Among its 3 weekday-only routes, Culver CityBus operates a Rapid route (Rapid 6).
Culver CityBus and Santa Monica Big Blue Bus participate in BruinGo program, in which UCLA students and staff can show their BruinCard (university ID) to the driver so that the university pays a part of the fare.
Culver CityBus currently operates an all New Flyer fleet of 54 buses. All buses run on CNG. Culver CityBus has retired its old fleet, mostly made of buses by Flxible, TMC/RTS, and Gillig.
Culver city is beginning to retire its C40lf fleet from 2001 and 2004. New 2017 XN40 coaches have arrived and are in service.
All buses are numbered 70—and 71--.
Buses were originally painted green and white, but all buses were repainted to all green in 2000.
In 2008, large decals honoring Culver CityBus's 80th year of service were affixed to buses and were later removed in 2009.
Culver CityBus began operating six New Flyer C40LFR buses on the new Rapid 6 starting on January 4, 2010.
