Jesus (portrayed by PJ McNerney) carries the cross during St. Monica Catholic Church's Good Friday Living Stations of the Cross service on Friday, March 29, 2013. Living Stations of the Cross retraces Jesus’ final footsteps from the Hall of Pilate where he was condemned to death to the site of his execution on Golgotha (Calvary). The Stations of the Cross is a liturgical way to reenact that journey as a meditation of worship.

Bus drivers and mechanics from Big Blue Bus, Norwalk Transit, Culver City Bus, Torrance Transit and Gardena competed in the Five Star Bus Roadeo at the BBB Transit Facility in Santa Monica on Saturday, March 23, 2013. The competition allowed contestants to show off their defensive driving skills to co-workers, family and friends and showcased their skills in safe driving and vehicle maintenance. The Operator Competition included events such as judgment stops, turning, and clearing obstacles. The Mechanic Competition requires skills in the identification of defects in engine, transmission, brake, and HVAC modules. The pre-trip inspection for operators and multiplex troubleshooting for mechanics are incorporated as scored events. The Bus Roadeo provides a platform for continuous improvement that would ultimately result in safer service being provided to passengers.
