We’re serious about keeping you safe, so we’re limiting the amount of riders on the bus at any one time. For now you can enjoy the extra space and know that you’re helping everyone #RideSafeOnPace.

“I am saddened to learn of the passing of a true giant for the Southland, former State Sen. Maggie Crotty. I had the good fortune to replace Maggie in the State Senate in 2013 when she retired. But I have known her for many years.
