ELMHURST FEEDER ROUTES

Feeder network developed by village of Elmhurst possibly during late 1960's. By 1978 consisted of six rush hour feeder routes. Service was generally operated by contract operators, often school bus companies. By late 1970's, routes were operated under contract by Commuter Bus Systems. By 1986, routes were operated by Valley Transit, and a few years later, routes were assumed by Lakeview Bus Lines. Around 1994, service was assumed by Vancom, later Laidlaw. And in 2000, direct operation assumed by Pace through its West Division. All of these routes were eventually discontinued.
