Our History
In 1959, Hudson Bus Lines took over transit services in Lewiston and Auburn, Maine. Bus fares rose to 20 cents for adults, 10 cents for children ages 5-12, and children under five rode for free. By 1973 the cities of Lewiston and Auburn began providing local subsidies for fixed-transit services, and three years later, the Lewiston-Auburn Transit Committee was formed to oversee and regulate local transit services. Nearly 40 years later in 2005, Hudson was purchased by Student Transportation of America, and in 2016 we moved to the 4-acre site where we currently operate along Goddard Road.
