Here comes the RIDEO bus!
Making its first public appearance is the newly rehabilitated and revitalized
RIDEO bus from the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority, operator of the
Wheels bus service.
This 1962 GM bus was originally part of the City of Livermore’s Rideo fleet.
When LAVTA was created and assumed the operation of the Tri Valley bus services
in the mid-1980s, it acquired this historic treasure from the City.
The bus was in need of repair and restoration. This came to the attention of
Alameda County Supervisor and LAVTA board member, Scott Haggerty.
Supervisor Haggerty secured federal funding to rehabilitate this piece of
Livermore’s history to its former glory.
It is with pleasure that LAVTA presents its completely restored RIDEO bus”!
