The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round

Since my childhood, Los Angeles has been making rather remarkable strides in the area of public transportation. Of course, they did tear up the streetcar (before my time, of course), but I definitely see some improvement.

And I really like this funky bus. It looks sort of like a train, sort of like a slug, and sort of like a sushi roll. It runs on the Metro Rapid lines, but I'm not sure who makes it or what powers it, or even what it's like inside. I'll save that for another trip.
