Blue Bus lines (Oregon) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Blue Bus lines (Oregon)
The “Blue Bus” lines was a group of four affiliated privately owned public transportation companies that provided bus transit service in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area in the 1950s and 1960s.〔"Portland Traction Co." (of Portland transit up to 1971 ). ''Motor Coach Age'', September 1971, pp. 4–23. Motor Bus Society.〕 The name was unofficial but was in common use in the 1960s, and variations included "Blue Bus lines", "Blue Lines", "blue bus" lines (or companies) and "blue buses". The Blue Bus companies provided service only between Portland and suburbs outside the city, or within such suburbs,〔 as transit service within the city of Portland was the exclusive franchise of the Portland Traction Company or, after 1956, the Rose City Transit Company (RCT).〔"Blue Bus Lines See No Operations Shift (Rose City Transit drivers strike )". (November 12, 1969). ''The Oregonian'', section 2, p. 7.〕 The "blue buses" were prohibited from making stops inside the city except to pick up passengers destined for points outside RCT's service area (or to drop off such passengers when inbound to Portland).〔 The "blue" name was a reference to the paint scheme worn by most buses of the consortium. By contrast, city transit operator Rose City's buses wore a primarily red paint scheme. All public transit operations of the Blue Bus lines were taken over by Tri-Met, a new regional public transit authority, in 1970, nine months after Tri-Met took over the Rose City Transit Company's service.〔〔Ruble, Web (February 25, 1973). "Transit was created because it had to be". ''The Sunday Oregonian'', p. F1.〕 ==Companies== Four companies comprised the Blue Bus consortium of common carriers: Estacada-Molalla Stages, Inc.; Intercity Buses, Inc.; Portland Stages, Inc.; and Tualatin Valley Buses, Inc.〔〔"‘Blue Buses’ Raise Fare". (February 14, 1967). ''The Oregonian'', p. 23.〕〔Federman, Stan (June 21, 1970). "Strike By Blue Bus Drivers Threatened To Force Tri-Met Settlement". ''The Sunday Oregonian'', p. 34.〕〔Federman, Stan (September 2, 1970). "Tri-Met Action Averts Strike Of Bus Drivers; Agency To Assume Operation Of Four Suburban Blue Lines". ''The Oregonian'', p. 1.〕 The start-up dates for the individual companies ranged from 1938 to 1955. All were owned and operated by George Fourier and his brother-in-law, E. G. Larson.〔"Bus Service To Start Soon" (Intercity Buses ). (January 20, 1955). ''The Oregonian'', p. 9.〕〔Pratt, Gerry (August 17, 1966). "Bus Lines Manager Sees Gloomy Future". ''The Oregonian'', p. 21〕 Combined, they served parts of four different counties. Two served areas in Multnomah County, two Clackamas County and one served Washington County and parts of Multnomah and Yamhill counties.
