Elyria Transit Co Buys Eight Buses For Service
Willard Buck Roberts, president of Elyria Transit Co, announced purchase of eight used but modern buses to replace decrepit equipment. Three will enter city service Monday, with the rest arriving from Dayton and Iowa. A 37 seat charter bus will handle larger crowds on out of town trips next week. Roberts credited Local 1484 drivers for agreeing to a 3 percent pay cut last March to avoid a fare hike and to enable the purchase. The cut, applicable to all employees, should save about $2000 monthly. Roberts also took a $100 monthly pay cut. Company economy moves include cutting non profitable runs. The fleet overhaul aims to reduce maintenance costs, previously about $5000 monthly, and improve reliability and schedules.
