Ainsworths Sell Charter Line After 50 Years in Bus Service
After half a century in transportation Glenn and Maxine Ainsworth retire from the charter bus business. They sold Ottawa Bus Service's charter portion to Dan Newby of Kansas City, renaming the company Ottawa School Bus Service Inc. They will share facilities at 429 W. Wilson, with Ainsworth’s mechanic servicing Newby’s buses. The move stems from growth and government red tape, though Ainsworth will keep school contracts for USC 290 and oversee Cross Country Tours run by his daughter-in-law, Dora Ainsworth.
