Photo below of bus at SP grade crossing, Weber Ave. Some outfit cars in the background.
Stockton City Lines was replaced by the Stockton Metropolitan Transit District (SMTD)
in 1965, says the SMTD website.
They say there were "public outcries" against the privately run Stockton City Lines
service. Well, the victor gets to write the history, and government agencies like to think
they are the best! Who knows if the service was that bad, given that it had to turn a
profit.
From SMTD website:
"the Stockton Metropolitan Transit District (SMTD) began providing service for the residents
of Stockton on June 1, 1965. The special district was formed in response to public outcries
of inadequate services by private transportation companies. ... In 1965, this group acquired
the needed buses and warehouse, as well as private transportation lines, including Stockton
City Lines..."
