Bus fleet

As of 2024, Long Beach Transit's fleet is composed of mostly New Flyer buses, which are the GE40LF, GE40LFA, XN40 and XN60 models. It also has a large number of Gillig BRT+ models, a decreasing number of New Flyer D40LF models, and one Prévost coach used for charters. It also uses the battery-powered BYD K9 and BYD K9M buses,[29] as well as the relatively new New Flyer XE35.

Long Beach Transit has had several major firsts. It was the first agency to:

  • Operate the General Motors RTS bus in the late 1970s, in addition to other variants
  • Operate the first gasoline-electric buses in the world
  • Use the first Gillig bus powered by CNG

The buses have four-digit numbers, of which the first two digits represent the year the bus was put into service. Buses numbered 90## (the ## representing number in fleet) entered service in the 1990s, 20## - 29## entered service in the 2000s, and 12## - 18## entered service in the 2010s.

Long Beach Transit buses are operated out of 2 yards:

  • Headquarters
  • Jackson Transit Center

Most buses are stored at the headquarters on Anaheim Street in Eastside Long Beach. The articulated buses are stored at the Jackson Transit Center bus depot in North Long Beach. Both bus depots are located along Cherry Avenue.
