Canoga is the fifth station on the Orange Line, counting from the western terminus at Chatsworth station. Buses began running on the original busway route to Canoga and former western terminus at Warner Center on December 17, 2006.[2] The completed station opened to the public on December 27, 2006, about 14 months after the other stations eastward on the line opened.[3] Canoga was built to alleviate the lack of parking available at other Orange Line stations in the West Valley, and provides a total of 612 new parking spaces.
