Electric battery bus service in the Antelope Valley was abruptly suspended this week, causing a transit nightmare for commuters looking to get to work, school, doctors' appointments and more. All transportation services using the Antelope Valley Transit Authority's fleet of MCI D45 battery-electric commuter coaches were halted on Tuesday “out of an abundance of caution and for reasons outside of AVTA’s control,” officials stated. Multiple frustrated commuters reached out to KTLA to figure out more about why service was canceled for the next couple of weeks; they said they were only notified of the suspension when they were handed a flyer onboard a bus Monday evening.
