City Buses Size Debate Faces Manufacturing Limits
City leaders and the Linn county transit group reached a consensus on a mid sized bus, about 35 passengers, but U S manufacturers now only produce 22 or 45 passenger models. They favored 45 seats for efficiency while noting current 53 passenger units struggle on streets. A timetable shift to 40 minute routes and possible two buses during peaks were discussed. Commuter service to outlying areas may use charter coaches if feasible. The study is funded by the Linn county regional planning commission.
