The Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation (GLPTC) is a municipal corporation founded in 1971 that provides bus services in Tippecanoe County, Indiana under the operating name of CityBus.
History
In 1970 the privately owned Greater Lafayette Bus Company abruptly ceased operations and the City of Lafayette hastily assumed operation of the bus routes. Since the routes operated in West Lafayette in addition to Lafayette, a funding mechanism that allowed the use of tax revenues from both cities was needed. GLPTC was formed to operate city bus services in the two cities and select surrounding areas of Tippecanoe County. GLPTC receives funding from the federal government, the State of Indiana and property taxes levied in the service areas. In 1998 GLPTC began using the operating name CityBus.
Current operations
The corporation's budget for 2007 was $9 million, with approximately $1.9 million coming from farebox collections, pass sales, charters and other services. As of 2015 the CityBus fleet consists of 85 buses including paratransit buses, fifteen CNG buses, and twenty-four hybrid diesel-electric buses. The majority of the fleet consists of vehicles manufactured by Gillig Corporation. In 2013 CityBus (GLPTC) was the second busiest bus system in Indiana with more than 5.44 million rider trips.
CityBus has a partnership with Purdue University and Ivy Tech Community College that allows students, faculty and staff of these universities to ride free of cost.
CityBus is currently undergoing a 10-year bus replacement plan that will eventually replace all of their Diesel and Hybrid buses with CNG buses.[2] CityBus, along with other transportation providers, has signed a 5-year contract with New Flyer to provide up to 159 new buses (total) for the providers.[3]
Fleet
CityBus operates a fleet of transit and para-transit buses. A vast majority of the transit buses are Gillig Low Floor and Gillig BRT buses, though CityBus also operates a number of New Flyer buses. The para-transit buses, used for their "ACCESS" system, are mostly mini-buses based on the Ford E-Series chassis.
Buses 715-720 (and previously 1104-1112) were bought used from Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Transit. All other vehicles in the current fleet are assumed to have been purchased new by CityBus.
