According to Nancy Schatzer, site manager for the bus barn in California, "We only had to move one block and we're still on 50 Highway. There just wasn't adequate space at the Henry tractor building (which served as the bus barn for three years). It wasn't suited for what we needed. The buses are 40 feet long and that building isn't 40 feet wide. The facility we've rented from Lehman Construction works much better."
