The company contracted to repair shuttle buses at San Jose International Airport may have “systematically defrauded” the city, police said in a court affidavit. Mobile Equipment Repair Service Inc. is suspected of fraudulent billings for bus maintenance and repairs that cost San Jose taxpayers nearly $1 million last year, police said. The affidavit had been filed in Superior Court in support of a request for a search warrant. Mobile has maintained the airport’s shuttle bus fleet since 1985 under an open purchase order that did not require competitive bids. No criminal charges have been brought against the firm. Glenn Davis, Mobile’s president, declined to comment on the allegations.
