Great photos. I love how colorful the LACMTA buses are and how clean they look.

Great photos!

[9594 is the last bus bus of the 95 bus order (9500-9594).]

What are the fleet numbers of and how many 65-foot NABI BRT buses does L.A. have? I couldn't tell whether 9594 is a 60 or 65-footer.

All of them are 60', with the exception of the one 65' that they have.

Correct.

Question: was it built from the ground up by NABI or was it converted from a regular 60-BRT?

IIRC, I believe it was converted from a regular 60-BRT. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks.

L Gas +? Are you sure they aren't the new ISL Gs? If they are the latter, I wonder how they would perform!

Great pics! I love LA Metro's color scheme and interior on the 1995 and later buses (which Valley Metro in Phoenix copied to a degree, but with blue seats instead of rainbow seats).
