Future

Culver CityBus has announced intentions to replace its entire fleet with battery-electric buses by 2028, in time for the 100th anniversary of its founding and the 2028 Olympic Games, while avoiding early retirement of its current fleet, assuming a 12-year useful service life.[14]

Culver CityBus was slated to receive 6 additional battery electric buses in 2022 from New Flyer. However, the agency canceled the order and abandoned their 2028 electrification commitment. In December 2024, the agency released a new rollout plan, which directs the agency to continue procuring CNG buses in the meantime. Despite being a smaller transit agency, Culver CityBus lags behind neighboring agencies such as LA Metro, Gtrans, and Big Blue Bus, who have committed to electrification by 2035, 2034, and 2030, respectively. Those agencies have begun electrification of their depots and have Battery Electric Buses in regular service, which Culver CityBus does not.

As of December 2024, their new rollout plan abandons the purchase of battery electric buses on a yearly basis through 2028 and instead delays their electrification commitment to 2040. As a result, Culver CityBus will be the last agency in the larger LA metropolitan area to operate CNG buses.
