Culver CityBus currently operates 46 buses. All, except for 7092-7097, are New Flyer C40LF. All buses run on CNG and have been acquired in 1998 and 2002. Buses acquired in 2002 have LED Luminators. Culver CityBus has retired its old fleet, mostly made of buses by Flxible, TMC/RTS, and Gillig.
All buses are numbered 70—and 71--.
Buses were originally painted green and white, but all buses were repainted to all green in 2000.
In 2008, large decals honoring Culver CityBus's 80th year of service were affixed to buses and were later removed in 2009.
Culver CityBus began operating six New Flyer C40LFR buses on the new Rapid 6 starting on January 4, 2010.
