A Bayonne bus company that served the community for more than a century made its final trip Saturday, ending a family-run operation that began in the 1920s.<\/p>\n
\tThe Broadway Bus Company, operated by the Massa family for three generations, shut down service after years of declining ridership and rising financial strain. Family members, former riders and longtime supporters gathered along John F. Kennedy Boulevard to watch the company\u2019s last ride through the city.<\/p>\n
\tEmil Massa, who has run the company for the past 30 years, said the decision to close was difficult but inevitable.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cI\u2019m disappointed, it\u2019s touchy, with the drivers and everything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\tThe company\u2019s final ride traveled its traditional route – up JFK Boulevard, down Broadway and back – marking the end of a century legacy woven into Bayonne\u2019s daily life. <\/p>\n
