Wheels Vintage Rideo Bus Featured at Pacific Bus Museum Event
LIVERMORE, Calif.– The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority’s (LAVTA’s) vintage Rideo bus once again takes center stage as the Pacific Bus Museum opens its doors to the public for its annual Summer Open House on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025. This event offers a rare chance to explore all of its classic and modern buses. The festivities take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the museum, 37974 Shinn St. in Fremont, California. Admission to the display area is free.
Wheels Rideo is featured as a guest display. The Rideo is a 1965 GM Coach bus originally operated as part of the City of Livermore’s Rideo bus system. LAVTA, the Tri-Valley bus transportation provider, acquired the historic Rideo bus from the City of Livermore in the late 1980s.
The open house also offers a bus memorabilia flea market, a raffle, and a barbecue lunch. The flea market opens at 9:45 a.m. with a BBQ lunch served shortly after 11 a.m. The cost is $17 for adults and $10 for children 10 and under.
