Bus Company Sets Public Meeting on Proposed Service Expansion
Proposed increases in Santa Monica bus service, including the phasing in of 67 new buses over the next nine months, will be discussed at a public meeting today.
The 3 p.m. meeting at the Ken Edwards Center, 1527 4th St., will also consider a scheduled one-third increase in bus service over the next several years, bus company spokeswoman Cynthia Gibson said.
Along with a 10-block downtown pedestrian transitway featuring widened sidewalks, the increased service is meant to lure 50% more riders into a pedestrian-friendly downtown, said city transportation director John Catoe. Santa Monica bus schedules can be obtained by calling (310) 451-5444.
