Public Service Commission Rejects Adams Transit Bus Route
The Public Service Commission refused Adams Transit Company’s bid to operate a bus line from East Berlin to Harrisburg via Dillsburg, citing loss of a direct link to the state capital. Regret is expressed over the decision as it would have tightened the region’s ties to Baltimore and Pennsylvania’s capital, offering a shorter Hanover route.
