I'm not kidding when I say 'captured'; I had to follow this bus to its turn-around up in the back of UCLA's main drag.

My problem is that these buses move so fast that I can't get a good bead on them!

Shown on CCB route #6 line, it comes north on Sepulveda Boulevard (obviously from Aviation/Imperial), makes a right onto Wilshire and then a left to Westwood Boulevard all the way to the dead end in mid campus.

Like Santa Monica's Big Blue Buses, Culver has always kept their equipment in A-One shape.

As can be seen on the side destination sign in photo # 3, the company does refer to itself as the 'Green Line'!

Culver City Bus also celebrated its 80th. birthday in 2008.

WCA: I guess the poster who warned you that taking pictures with a new camera can become addicting was right Very Happy

Nice photos of some clean, but ugly, buses Mr. Linsky! When I lived there, I seem to remember some nice green and stainless fishbowls. Neither Culver City's nor Santa Monica's were as clean on the outside in those days but they were nice buses.

I got a digital camera for Christmas and guess I need to get out there and take some photos of our ugly buses and new light rail. You are going to be a tough act to follow, Mr. L!

Dave,

How can I be a tough act to follow when I don't even know what I'm doing!?

Oh sure, the pictures look great but if I were asked how I transfer them from the camera to the computer, I wouldn't know what to tell them!

These cameras are virtually full blown computers themselves, and come with instruction books a half inch thick (most of which is Greek to me).

Luckily, my camera has a setting for 'Dummies' so I get by!

Hope you have a better understanding with yours.

Mr. 'L'
