The Detroit News reports Andy Didorosi is set to open the Detroit Bus Co., a private company with three full-size school buses.
The 25-year-old Ferndale resident says he's invested $10,000, and insurance will cost another $10,000 per bus per year. His plan comes as frustrations linger over city buses running late or not at all.
Didorosi's first bus will launch the last week of April, and the other two will follow.
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 26 President Henry Gaffney says city service could be better, but he's not a fan of a private citizen tackling the issue. Gaffney says Didorosi doesn't really know what he's doing.
