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.

The suspension does not affect AVTA's local service or the agency's use of any BYD zero-emission battery electric buses, transport officials said.
