Canoga is a station on the Los Angeles Metro Orange Line located in Canoga Park in the western San Fernando Valley.[1] It is part of the Los Angeles County Metro Liner system. Canoga is the only Metro Liner station to feature more than 2 platforms. There are a total of 4 platforms at this station. The original platforms of the original Metro Orange Line route between Warner Center & North Hollywood were renumbered to Platforms #3 (to Warner Center Transit Hub) and Platform #4 (to North Hollywood). Platform #1 is served by the Metro Orange Line with service to Chatsworth, while platform #2 is served by the Metro Orange Line coming from Chatsworth to North Hollywood. A digital message sign was installed in the station which indicates at what time will the next Orange Line bus pass and the platform it will stop at.

Canoga is currently the second station on the Orange Line, counting from the western terminus at Warner Center station. Buses began running on the transitway on December 17, 2006,[2] and the station itself opened to the public on December 27, 2006, about 14 months after the other stations on the line opened.[3] Canoga was built to alleviate the lack of parking available at other Orange Line stations in the West Valley, and provides a total of 612 new parking spaces. Canoga station parking was reduced to make way for the Metro Orange Line Chatsworth extension.
