Big Blue Bus Motor Coach Operator Antonise was recognized by the Santa Monica City Council for her courageous actions during the tragic shooting of Culver CityBus Operator Bruce Rodriguez on October 1, 2026. Antonise was on the scene at the time of the incident and the first to alert transit authorities. Her quick action helped keep passengers safe and relay critical information to law enforcement, who were able to apprehend the suspect. We commend MCO Antonise for her quick action and extraordinary courage. Our thoughts remain with our colleagues across the transit community as we mourn the loss of Bruce. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who worked alongside him. Violence has no place in our community or on our buses. We remain committed to prioritizing the safety of our operators, riders and all who rely on our system.

💙🚌✨Thanks for making this #summer one to remember! #bigbluebus #photodump #summervibes #santamonica #BBBSummer @santamonicacity
