Biddeford Saco Bus Lines vows winter service despite fears
Larry Stains reports Biddeford Saco Bus Lines will keep operating past Labor Day with a winter schedule slated by president Richard Stride. Ridership last winter was very low, prompting debate on the line’s future as a regional study on mass transit proceeds with state and local officials seeking funding. The study, led by the Southern Maine Regional Planning Commission and the Maine DOT, aims to assess need, riders, and possible subsidies or takeover options, while Stride notes the timing buys time for analysis. The winter route runs one bus from Five Points in Biddeford to Old Orchard Beach about 15 trips daily.
