Canoga Park Orange Line Station

Last night my bus driver got in an accident. It was small, he just rear ended the back of a truck. No damage really. But the bus driver proceeded to curse. He began yelling «holy f**k «exceedingly. Keep in mind there was a child on bored hearing all of this. Now I know there are fowl people that ride the bus, but I do not expect this type of unprofessional behavior from the driver

My FIRST time ever~ taking metro!
The Tap machine is pretty user friendly. Tap card is $ 1. Then either purchase one ride ($ 1.5), day pass ($ 5) or just put whatever amount you want. When you change different line, have to pay the ride again. Tap card is just like a debit card!
The Station: It is like a bus-​stops, not really a huge «station» (4 of them). There are benches with shade.
The Parking: Over 200 FREE parking on site.
Overall, the orange line buses are very clean, air-​conditioned & fast (no more traffic issue!)

I find myself at the Canoga Park Orange Line Station (CPOLS) quite a bit. My primary visits are to run the nice bike/​pedestrian path that runs east-​west and north-​south from the station. The path is really nice and starts along the bus line behind the Bed Bath and Beyond center toward De Soto, Mason and Winnetka. The only downside is the long traffic lights which slow your pace and heart rate/​breathing.
I took the metro to downtown recently and it worked very well. The bus was clean and nice and got me to the NoHo subway station fairly quickly so I could take a train from there.
Parking here is plentiful and what’s best is there’s a small sheriff’s outpost trailer so they’re around to keep an eye on your car.
As far as bus stops go, Canoga Park is pretty nice with a lot of places to sit and it’s really modern and clean. Just be very, very careful obeying traffic lights and crossing because the buses come fast.

My favorite stop on the entire Orange Line! Maybe because it’s the closest stop to my house and that means I’m almost home! Say What?! Los Angeles has public transportation? No way! Yes! Way! Okay, so it;s just a bus — big deal — what’s all the fuss? Well, if you’ve lived in the valley most of your life, you know what a PIA it is to get around. I mean sometime i think there’s more cars on the road than people driving them! Gridlock is defined as the 101S/​405S interchange on a Monday at 8:00AM. The Orange Line and connecting transportation will let you bypass all of that even though it might actually take about the same time. At least you don’t have to exercise your right foot from gas to brake 80 times an hour.
For $ 6 you’ve got the entire day to ride whatever you want including transfers. Pretty good deal if you ask me. The Canoga Park station has a pretty decent size parking lot too. This station used to be the end of the Orange Line until they expanded all the way up to the Chatsworth train station which makes the whole system that much better. I don’t use the system very often, but when I do, I enjoy not having to get behind the wheel and fight the road rage inside of me. Now that they outlawed the use of guns on the freeways, it’s hardly any fun at all anymore! Ding-​Ding!

Great little bus stop and bicycle path. Seems relatively safe and I’ve never had my bike stolen (knock on wood). They’re currently doing construction around it so beware.

Best bus line ever… I hope buses all over CA have more frequent schedules like this one.
This works like a train so ittttts wayyyyyyyyyy better than regular buses.
Keep it up!

YAY!!! I started using the Orange Line!!!
I start at the Canoga station and end at the Valley College Station then transfer to one more bus before arriving to work. The ride home is the exact opposite.
The ticket machine confused me on the first day. Oooops! But the second day went much better.
The stations are clean, so are the buses. Its a cool way to people watch. I am going to commute this way as often as I can. It is SO much betther than sitting in 101 traffic hell!
