Trans-Bridge Lines recently donated five buses to local fire departments for rescue training purposes, which includes bus extrication.

Extrication techniques to remove windows, windshields and doors on buses are considered basic, but they, too, require additional training.

Greenawalds, Upper Macungie Township, Easton and Bethlehem fire departments each re-ceived a bus.

Trans-Bridge Lines and its related company, Lehigh Valley Motorcoach, operate daily bus service to New York City, Newark and JFK Airports from the Lehigh Valley.
