EspañolMONTEBELLO BUS LINES
'Montebello Bus Lines' is a municipal bus operator in Montebello, USA, mostly serving East Los Angeles, Commerce, and Montebello.
"Montebello Bus Lines began on July 28, 1931 with a small lot on the corner of Greenwood Ave and Olympic Blvd 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, if only temporarily.
Two years after the City of Montebello became incorporated in 1920, the City launched its first attempt at operating a municipal bus line. However, the City decided to sell its bus operation to the Motor Transit Company in 1928.
A brief three years later, in 1931, the City purchased the line back from the Motor Transit Company, and thus was born Montebello Bus Lines. In the agency’s early days, passengers paid a nickel to ride the bus and bus operators earned $120 per month.
Since these humble beginnings, Montebello Bus Lines has grown to operate seven local routes, three express routes and a Dial-a-Ride service. Montebello Bus Lines serves 14 communities, providing transportation to 9.5 million passengers on an annual basis. Its peak period fleet of 67 buses was recently enhanced with the addition of five hybrid gasoline-electric buses. Montebello Bus Lines plans to purchase 42 more hybrid buses in the next three years.
The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) has recognized Montebello Bus Line’s outstanding service time and time again. Montebello Bus Lines is the proud recipient of APTA's Outstanding Transit System Award in 1999; and has also been recognized for outstanding safety practices with APTA's top Silver Safety Award in 1999 and Achievement Award in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2002.
As Montebello Bus Lines celebrates its 75th Anniversary, we recognize all who have contributed to our success and look forward to continuing our commitment to providing superior transportation services to Montebello and surrounding communities."
