Need Help Identifying An L.A. Rapid Metro Bus

[x635 4,066]

So, I'm becoming a public transit bus fan. I recently found my new favorite bus, and need help figuring out the manufacturer/model and any details.

More info and the photo in my blog:

Please post any info here.

Also, is there a public transit bus fan website/resource online?

Found some really interesting information on Wikipedia on the Metro Rapid line

Says the bus has a transponder that lets traffic lights favor it, among other technology, yet doesn't speak of the bus itself.

I a member on http://forum.bustalk.net/ where we have many bus enthusiasts who can probably figure out make, model and year of that bus at the drop of a hat.

Feel free to join in and check things out. Scope is Metro NYC generally, but other parts of the country and world are represented. The head man is Driver@BTN. Several NYC Bus Operators on the board, good inside information.
