Each day, 254 buses move through the Transit Maintenance Facility. Oil
changes are every 3,000 miles so that means a bus gets fresh oil every
3 weeks. After engine and brakes service, the staff at the facility
check the upholstery, bike racks, wiper blades and a lot more. To find
out about bus service in your neighborhood, call Valley Metro at 602-253-5000
or use the Trip Planner at http://www.valleymetro.org/Bus/
