Canoga station functions as a stop on the G Line within the Los Angeles Metro Busway system. Positioned along Canoga Avenue in the western section of the San Fernando Valley, specifically in Canoga Park, it plays a significant role in the transit infrastructure of the Los Angeles Metro Busway.
History
As an infill station, Canoga station commenced operations on December 27, 2006, approximately 14 months after the initial launch of the line. Its establishment aimed to alleviate parking constraints encountered at West Valley G Line stations by introducing 612 new parking spaces at opening. Additionally, it was intended to serve as the originating point for the northbound extension toward Chatsworth.
The Metro Orange Line Chatsworth Extension became operational on June 30, 2012, extending service from Canoga Station northwards through Canoga Park to connect with the Chatsworth Amtrak/Metrolink Station. This route follows Canoga Avenue. In response to this expansion, parking availability at Canoga was decreased to 258 spaces, supplemented by a new 207-space lot at the nearby Sherman Way station.
The extension incorporated two additional platforms at Canoga, bringing the total to four: a new northbound platform #1 and an eastbound platform #2 dedicated to Chatsworth-bound service; while the original Warner Center platforms were redesignated as westbound platform #3 and eastbound platform #4. A digital display system now provides real-time information on bus arrivals, destinations, and platform assignments.
Following the closure of Warner Center station in June 2018, the original platforms have been utilized for G Line buses terminating at Canoga as well as for local bus routes.
