LONG BEACH TRANSIT BUS VIDEO COMPILATION PART 1 OF 2

Long Beach Transit was the first transit agency to operate the iconic General Motors RTS bus in the late 1970s. It would continue to order the RTS in different forms until the early 1990s. Although all of its RTS buses have been retired, its first RTS was retained as a historical bus for a time before being donated to a museum in Pennsylvania for that purpose.
As of 2016, Long Beach Transit's fleet is composed mainly of the New Flyer Industries GE40LF, GE40LFA (gasoline-electric hybrid) & Gillig BRT Plus models, with thirteen New Flyer XN60 articulated buses, a decreasing number of New Flyer D40LF models, and one Prevost coach used for charters. Long Beach Transit is the first transit agency in the world to introduce production-model hybrid gasoline-electric buses into passenger service, with features similar to those of a Toyota Prius. The E-Power Bus (GE40LF), built by New Flyer, will be used on all of Long Beach Transit's routes as they are brought into service.
Long Beach Transit also operates 42 Gillig BRT Plus models, with #1201 being the first CNG Bus in the entire Gillig Low Floor Line. #1201 was ordered and delivered in 2011 as a Pilot Bus and to test the CNG technology for the Low Floor/BRT. In the following year, Long Beach Transit placed an order for 32 buses, mostly to replace the aging 1997 D40LFs. In September of the same year, as part of a major overhaul to the Passport, Long Beach Transit placed an additional order of 31 buses, as a major replacement the Chance Opus buses running before on The Passport(s). As of 2015, 42 of these buses are in service, although additional orders are unlikely, as Long Beach Transit is mostly interested in the New Flyer XN40.
Buses have four-digit numbers, of which the first two digits of the number represent either the year the bus was put into service or the number of passengers the bus has capacity for. Buses numbered in the 9000 series were placed into service during the 1990s, buses in the 2000-2900 series were placed into service during the 2000s, and buses in the 4300-4900 series seat 43 and 49 passengers respectively.
Long Beach Transit operated thirteen 60-foot New Flyer D60LFs and had options for ten more, but due to new regulations that restricted the purchase of new diesel buses (and the absence of any non-diesel articulated from New Flyer at the time) those buses ended up with Golden Gate Transit in Northern California as assignable options and were delivered in 2007. The D60LFs has since been replaced with XN60s.
Ten electric buses will be purchased from BYD for $11.7 million.They will operate on the Passport routes beginning in fall 2016.
Long Beach Transit is a municipal transit company providing fixed and flexible bus transit services in Long Beach, California, United States, in other communities in south and southeast Los Angeles County, in and northwestern Orange County. Long Beach Transit also operates the Passport shuttle, Aquabus, and Aqualink. The service, while operated on behalf of the City of Long Beach, is not operated directly by the city (such as is done with the bus service operated by the City of Santa Monica), but by a separate corporation, the Long Beach Public Transportation Company, operated for that purpose.
Long Beach Transit receives its operating revenue from farebox receipts and state tax revenue distributed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
