TRANSPO History

The South Bend Public Transportation Corporation (TRANSPO) is the present day identity for a business formerly known as The South Bend Railway Company, founded May 25, 1885. That makes TRANSPO one of the oldest, continuously-operated businesses in the South Bend/Mishawaka area.

With over 200 miles of bus routes and a fleet of over 65 vehicles, TRANSPO serves the public with energy-saving, economical and environmentally friendly transportation. Traveling over three million miles annually, TRANSPO is also one of the safest ways to go. Our operations have consistently won the State of Indiana Transit Class 1 Safety Award. And TRANSPO was named one of the ten most improved transit agencies in the nation in 2002.

Today, TRANSPO is a public agency dedicated to serving the transportation needs of the area's citizens.
