The next two stops on the tour involve Foothill Transit and Glendale Beeline.

Foothill Transit, the largest of the two agencies runs bus service in 21 small cities and express service into and out of Downtown Los Angeles. The fleet is mostly comprised of NABI 40LFWs, City and Semi-Suburban Orion V CNGs & Gillig Advantages, the last diesesl in service for the system.

Foothill Transit NABI 42BRT #1711 fills in a ran on the Sliver Streak, the system's BRT line. On weekdays, the 60BRT operate this line with the 1700s working it on the weekends:

On weekdays, the 60BRT operate this line with the 1700s working it on the weekends:

Its actually just 40ft buses. Gillig low floors and 1400/1500 series NABIs do run on this line weeknights and all-day weekends.

I only said that because that Sunday I rode it, all i saw were 1700s and it was mentioned by another fan that Foothill only ran these buses on weekends but thanks for the correction.
