All buses are numbered 70—and 71--.
Buses were originally painted green and white, but all buses were repainted to all green in 2000.
In 2008, large decals honoring Culver CityBus's 80th year of service were affixed to buses and were later removed in 2009.

Rapid Buses are painted primarily a dull gray to distinguish themselves from the regular bright green buses.
In 2012, Culver CityBus took delivery of 20 New Flyer Xcelsior XN40 Buses and started operating some of them beginning in late May 2012 with the rest to be phased in by late June.
