MPO Shuttle Lines Not Happy With The 67A Proposal.

Airport Ridge, BR. April 28th 2014.

Buses chosen for the 67A Shuttle Bus Line.

A proposal to run a free connection shuttle bus from the 67 trolley's end point on 49th Street to the Airport Terminals came to screeching halt today. Metropolis International Airport Shuttle Lines or MPO Shuttle for short has threaten to sue Metropolis Transit if the service begins to run. The lawsuit threat was not to be taken lightly, the 67A's route basically overlaps MPO Shuttle's L2 Line which also connects to the 67 at 49th Street but requires a paid transfer. The 67A bus is suppose to run along the path of the 67 Trolley extension into Metropolis International Airport stopping at the entrance of each under construction station. The MPO Shuttle makes stop only within the airport skipping 3 new light rail station sites meaning there is an area of now bus or trolley service at all. Metropolis Transit is trying to fix this gap while serving the Airport at the same time.

Metropolis Transit has stated it will continue all efforts to instate the 67A Connection Bus no matter at what costs and that MPO is "delaying in enviable" with the 67 trolley extension going live sometime within 2016. Currently 7 other Metropolis Transit bus lines that serves the Airport, the only reason why this one is a problem is because of the service area being shared with MPO Shuttle. MPO is currently under fire with the state due to failure to pay taxes. The company is current is debt and is surviving off the L1, L2 & P3 Line. All others have been discontinued due to low ridership.
