Retailers Push City Bus Board Plan Amid Transit Woes
Downtown merchants led by the Retailers Association urged the City Council to create a Municipal Transit Commission to oversee public transit if current service levels cannot be maintained. George W. Tramell urged exploring private ownership or a chartered commission under city manager supervision to avoid pressures on the council. The letter noted declining bus patronage, token service concerns, and transit’s vital role for Ing Beach, while not addressing recent 6 percent rate cut approved for Long Beach Bus Co. by the Public Utilities Commission. Council members considered options as investigations into franchise methods proceed.
