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.

Commuter service to outlying areas may use charter coaches if feasible. The study is funded by the Linn county regional planning commission.
