Montebello Bus Lines is a municipal bus operator in Montebello, USA, mainly serving East Los Angeles, Commerce, and Montebello. == History == Montebello Bus Lines began on July 28, 1931, with a small lot on the corner of Greenwood Avenue and Olympic Boulevard, where the four buses the agency operated were housed. The conception of Montebello Bus Lines came after several other transit services had served the area. Two years after the City of Montebello was incorporated in 1920, the City launched its first attempt at operating a municipal bus line. But the City then decided to sell its bus operation to the Motor Transit Company in 1928. Three years later, in 1931, the City purchased the line back from the Motor Transit Company, and Montebello Bus Lines was born. In the agency’s early days, passengers paid a nickel to ride the bus and bus operators earned $120 per month. Montebello Bus Lines has grown to be the third largest municipal transit agency in Los Angeles County, operating seven local routes, an express route, a semi-fixed-route feeder service and a Dial-a-Ride service. Montebello Bus Lines serves 15 communities, providing transportation to 8 million passengers on an annual basis. As of September 2013, Montebello Bus Lines has 7 Compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, 44 hybrid buses and plans to replace its 15 remaining Diesel fuel buses with CNG in next few years. It also own a CNG fueling station to service the Montebello Bus Lines. The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) has recognized Montebello Bus Line’s service. Montebello Bus Lines is the recipient of APTA's Outstanding Transit System Award and APTA's top Silver Safety Award in 1999, as well as the Achievement Award in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montebello Bus Lines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
