Fleet
Torrance Transit's fleet is made up of Gillig Phantom and Gillig Advantage buses. Each bus is numbered 4--. The fleet is maintained at the facilities department on Madrona Avenue. In 2010 Torrance Transit began replacing its bus fleet with GE40LFRs, and then with C40LFRs, from New Flyer Industries. The new buses were delivered with a new paint scheme which marked the start of a rebranding [1] effort by the agency.
