Info

Citibus is the public transportation provider for the City of Lubbock. Lubbock has had public transportation since 1932, when the Lubbock Bus Company began operations. The company went through several owners, but in 1971 the City began to subsidize the system. This scenario is typical of systems in the United States, with all public transportation systems utilizing subsidies of various kinds. Citibus provides three primary types of services. They include a Fixed Route Service, CitiAccess (paratransit system), and Special Services. Citibus has also expanded service later into the evenings. The Citibus Evening Service is designed to meet the needs of both CitiAccess and fixed route passengers who are transit dependent and who would have no other means of transportation in the evenings if the Evening Service were not provided. A majority of Evening Service passengers work at night and use the service for transportation to and from job sites. Citibus is professionally managed by McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. McDonald Transit Associates, which is based in Fort Worth, Texas, professionally manages transit properties across the United States.
