Van Nuys is a station on the bus rapid transit Orange Line, in the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Metro Liner system. It is named after adjacent Van Nuys Boulevard, which travels north-south and crosses the east-west busway route and is located in the Van Nuys district of Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley.[1] The Orange Line's service hours are approximately from 4:00 AM until 1:00 AM daily.[2] Adjacent to the station is the Orange Line's bicycle path.
The platform features a painting by Roxene Rockwell called The New Town, which shows an example of the wheat and sugar beet fields that marked the area before it was developed. [3]

Transit-oriented development
According to Urbanize LA, There is a planned mixed-use project next to the station. The project would require for the Keyes car dealership on Van Nuys Blvd and Oxnard St to be demolished along with the stretch of Atena St between Vesper Ave and Van Nuys Blvd to be demolished. The project will include 324 residential units, 17,000 square feet of commercial floor area and slightly over one acre of open space. The proposed mixed-use complex would feature parking accommodations in excess of that required by the Los Angeles Municipal Code.
