LACMTA 2001 NABI 40-LFW CNG

After I got off of 1626, I was waiting for a 2004 NABI 45C heading southbound on Line 794, and as I was waiting I noticed a NABI 40-LFW heading southbound, 7677 in a Metro Local paint job, doing the 794! Since the ride back to downtown was about 20-25 minutes, I decided to ride 7677 from San Fernando/Fletcher to Avenue 26/Figueroa, just before the short segment where the 794 jumps onto the 110 freeway. The AC was on in this unit, but at least it was nice to ride in one of these units before they go away soon. Also if you listen closely, this bus has a different "stop requested" announcement that's done by a woman instead of the usual Metro announcement.

Do they still use these buses

Metro expiremented with the woman Stop Requested back in 2004 and they ended up going with the man voice instead although it also just said "stop requested" instead of saying "please use rear exit" and "for your safety" announcements. That was added after a couple years after the guy voice was added. I'm guessing they just forgot to remove the woman voice on this bus.

Nice! I rode this unit back in September of last year! Hmm... as for the Stop Requested announcement it doesn’t say the rest. It just says “Stop Requested” just like other agencies.
