Encyclopedia : M : MT : MTA : MTA Bus Company
The MTA Bus Company (MTA Bus for short), a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, is a public benefit corporation created to operate those bus routes formerly operated by private companies in the New York City area. The privately-operated bus routes were taken over on a staggered schedule, beginning with Liberty Lines Express in January 2005 and ending with Triboro Coach Corp in February 2006. The legal name of the corporation is the MTA Bus Company. There exist preliminary plans for the company to also take over bus operations of New York City Transit and Long Island Bus.[link]
MTA Bus started to operate the former Liberty Lines Express bus routes on January 3, 2005, Queens Surface Corporation bus routes on February 27, 2005, New York Bus Service bus routes on July 1, 2005, Command Bus Company bus routes on December 5, 2005, Green Bus Lines bus routes on January 9, 2006 and Jamaica Buses bus routes on January 30, 2006.
