Amtrak will boldly go where no bus company has gone before and offer bus service in an underserved area of California.
California Senate Bill 1263, which authorizes Amtrak to offer bus service in beautiful downtown Bakersfield as well as stops in the Los Angeles area was unanimously approved in both houses of the state legislature and is set to be signed into law next week by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Federal law prohibits Amtrak buses from servicing communities that can be serviced by other bus companies like Greyhound. But it allows individual states to pass laws on additional stops if private companies choose not to stop there.
