It was first made when the EZ Rider low floor buses arrived in 1998.</p> http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039935 http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039935 Comments Fri, 16 Mar 2007 16:56:24 -0800 <p>Metro wasn't the pioneer in solid coloring. Santa Monica did it first by painting its buses periwinkle. Culver City went to solid green around 2000. The most pimped out paint job is the North San Diego County Transit District. It looks like an upside-down DirecTV logo, with blue and green solids and a white "path".</p> http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039921 http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039921 Comments Fri, 16 Mar 2007 16:07:20 -0800 <p>Rapid red and the incredibly rare blue X express - can't wait to have all three. Compared to most other big city transit buses, LA's new buses are practically pimped.</p> http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039142 http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039142 Comments Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:07:24 -0800 <p>Metro gave out cardboard versions of the Rapid artic, but as far as I know, no one makes a die-cast articulated bus.</p> http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039079 http://laist.com/2007/03/15/metro_goes_mini.php#comment-1039079 Comments Thu, 15 Mar 2007 14:24:43 -0800 <p>What, no Matchbox love for the big red articulated rapid buses?</p>
