Woodville Transit Authority



= Woodville Transit Authority = Woodville Transit Authority is a major fictional transit service that operates within the fictional state of Woodville. Providing service to the Waterford, Camden City, Elmhurst, Stateview Island, and Bergen counties. The group was founded by crazyToyFreddy in the summer of 2019, beginning operations later that same summer. The group at first, started off slow, but would then rapidly increase in member counts, significantly reaching 1,000 members as of May 22nd, 2022.

More Insight on WTA
The Woodville Transit Authority serves these five counties as mentioned in the previous paragraph, however, currently there are only two bus divisions within WTA that are open. One being the Meredith City Division, which takes place within Waterford County. While, the other division is the 8 bus subway shuttle division. Meredith City Division is currently the biggest division in WTA, as it is home to several routes that service to Meredith Plaza within Waterford County; including the W23-SBS, W50, W79, W80, W81-LTD, W82-SBS/LCL, and W83-EXP.

WTA's History
Originally, WTA primiarily used to operate subways when it was first founded. There were no available bus divisions at the time. In more detail, this particular subway division was the 7/11 lines, which were responsible for the Hayward Parkway subway line(s), as it connected Waterford County to the Elmhurst County. This subway division would be in constant use until Mid-2020, where runs and trainings/activity within the group stopped suddenly, especially since crazyToyFreddy became less active due to him becoming much more busier in life. Eventually, a lot of people thought there was no point in keeping the group, and lost all hope for it... But then, this would immediately change in the summer of 2021, when now Co-Founder, Bre_xze, would step in and help to revive the group back up. Bre_xze would introduce a new bus division (Currently the Meredith City Bus Division), that also came with new customized buses at the time, made by pI_zs. Although it took some time, eventually, the group would be back up and running throughout the rest of 2021, and into 2022.

Throughout late 2021, WTA became overall successful again with the announcement of a new division coming along to be released in 2022, which would now be the Elmhurst City division. New projectGENESIS buses would be brought to WTA in November, 2021, starting with the 2006-2007 Orion VII OG HEVs, and then a new rollout of Novabuses specifically dedicated for WTA. Now, in May of 2022, there would be new projectGENESIS xcelsiors created intended to replace the con-current pI_zs buses that still operate.

The Meredith City Bus Depot
The Meredith City Bus Depot is a depot located within the Meredith City region of the Waterford County. This bus depot in particular services the towns/cities of Bedford Hills, Westport, Eastport, North Larchmont, Harrison, Meredith City, South Midland, Montrose, Van Nest, and many more. This depot can be found within the Meredith City Division. The depot was first built in 1997, as a result of the WTA "Call for Action" program in the late 90s.

The Meredith City depot used to be a CNG facility, that also held CNG buses for service, This would dramatically change after the original depot exploded in 2002, when Orion VII OG CNG #7721 burst in flames after a mechanic ignited the bus on fire. The mechanic was later charged for arson. The depot would be rebuilt by 2007, and would be back up and running again. They would receive CNG buses again in 2008, but due to serious concerns from surrounding neighborhoods, the CNG buses would be pulled back again in 2010.

As of now, the Meredith City depot is one of the worst performing bus depots in WTA, as they experience atleast 10 bus crashes from their operators almost every week. The depot now also has a problem with roaches and buses consistently breaking down. The depot management is currently under investigation by the Department of Buses.

The Elmhurst City Bus Depot
The Elmhurst City depot is located within Southern Elmhurst City within the Elmhurst County. This bus depot services Bensonhurst, Elmhurst City, Meredith City, Park Slope, Woodville Liberty Airport, Greenwich, The Rockaways, Foxhurst Beach, and much more. This depot can be found within the Elmhurst City (or internally referred to as, Southern Elmhurst) Division. This depot in particular also owns several other facilities, and even has a CMF (Central Maintenance Facility), that is in charge of overhauling several buses from other depots nearby. This depot also has a scrapyard that can be found in Farmingdale (The Rockaways), by Cross Beach Blvd and Beach Channel Drive. The depot also owns a external parking lot for buses in the Rockaways as well.

This depot was first built in the 1960s, made to service Northern Woodville County which was mostly suburban at the time. Throughout the years, the depot was becoming too small and would be rebuilt in the 80's, in order to accomodate new buses, and longer buses as well. In the year of 2012, the depot would be rebuilt again, this time containing 5 floors, with a CMF, and 2 floors dedicated to bus parking, as well as a larger dispatch room for operators, and a coordination center.

In the year of 2016, the Elmhurst City Depot was awarded for it's great maintenance and cleaniness of their buses, receiving the "Great Ethics & Consistency" award from the WTA HR & Management team. The depot is now home to about 5 SBS routes, and is one of the busiest in all of Woodville.
