Local News in Brief : Poposals Sought on Private Bus Service
The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday gave private bus operators the green light to submit proposals to provide rush-hour commuter service between the Sepulveda Basin and the Los Angeles Civic Center
The project is designed to test private sector interest in providing commuter bus service, which has been largely a responsibility of the Southern California Rapid Transit District.
The proposal also calls for consideration of extending the private bus service beyond the Encino park-and-ride lot to take over the route now traveled between downtown Los Angeles and Westlake Village by RTD Line 423. That line is proposed for cancellation because of budget cuts.
