Canoga is the fifth station on the Orange Line, counting from the western terminus at Chatsworth station. Buses began running on the original busway route to Canoga and former western terminus at Warner Center on December 17, 2006.[2] The completed station opened to the public on December 27, 2006, about 14 months after the other stations eastward 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.
Orange Line extension opens
The 4 miles (6.4 km) Metro Orange Line Chatsworth Extension was complete on June 30, 2012 from Canoga Station north through downtown Canoga Park to the Chatsworth Amtrak/Metrolink Station in Chatsworth. The extension travels north-south along Canoga Avenue.[4][5] The Canoga station parking lot capacity was reduced for the Metro Orange Line route's extension north, but a parking lot was included at the next new stop, the Sherman Way station.

Metro Liner Orange Line BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) service hours are approximately from 4:00 AM until 1:00 AM daily.[6]
