San Bernardino Express, also known as sbX, is San Bernardino's and the Inland Empire's first and only rapid transit line. sbX is a brand of bus rapid transit service that will eventually traverse major surface streets throughout the Omnitrans service area, which covers most of the 15 cities and unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County between the Riverside and Los Angeles county lines and the foothills of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges.〔http://www.omnitrans.org/news/new-programs.shtml〕〔http://www.estreet-sbx.com/docManager/1000000024/sbX-FAQs-Nov2008-FINAL.pdf〕 ==Development== sbX is the first and only bus rapid transit line in Southern California's Inland Empire, the 12th largest metropolitan area in the United States. With construction of the first line (E Street Corridor, now known as the Green Line) substantially completed, the 15.7-mile corridor spans between northern San Bernardino and Loma Linda. It includes 16 art-inspired stations, designed by Gruen Associates of Los Angeles, at university, government, business, entertainment and medical centers, as well as four park-and-ride facilities. Construction was set to finish in late 2013, but was pushed back due to ongoing construction at San Bernardino's downtown transit center. Service began in April 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regional rapid bus system sbX moving forward in San Bernardino )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=sbXpress - The Newsletter for Omnitans BRT )〕 Omnitrans has begun making upgrades to its East Valley vehicle maintenance facility in San Bernardino, including modifications to its parking lot, service bays bus wash and fueling facility, to accommodate 60-foot buses, all of which have been purchased and acquired, to run on the sbX bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor. Omnitrans has received a grant from the Federal Transit Administration to conduct an alternatives analysis for the Holt Boulevard/4th Street Corridor and the cities of Ontario and Fontana are both conducting studies on the feasibility of bus rapid transit along the corridor in their cities. Additionally, planners in Rancho Cucamonga are exploring recommendations on how to support high-density, transit-oriented development along the Foothill Boulevard corridor (Historic Route 66). 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「San Bernardino Express」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
