Pennington reviews bus firm bids for city system
City officials met with two highly qualified bus management firms this week. One has filed a detailed proposal and the other is to submit by Monday, with a third firm contacted but not yet represented. A recommendation to Council is expected next week.

The selected manager would run payrolls purchases and reports, provide a resident manager, and aim for rapid implementation with a fleet plan of 20 buses for High Point as new stock arrives over the next year.
