El Dorado County releases BlueGo buses to TTD

The fleet of buses on the South Shore is about to increase by two.

This is because the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 25 voted to allow the Tahoe Transportation District to use the two buses the county took off the road in July. They had been part of the BlueGo service, and will resume being so as long as TTD runs the bus service.

BlueGo buses stored at the county yard in Meyers will be put back in service.

The resolution that was passed by the supervisors stipulates the buses be used to service county residents on the South Shore.

The legal questions pertaining to the county’s financial involvement with TTD are still being worked out.
