SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 VIA Metropolitan Transit\u2019s Annual \u201cRoadeo\u201d is a family tradition within the company where bus operators, maintenance and several critical employees come together to put the skills they have perfected over time to the test.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere, we celebrate safety and innovation,\u201d said VIA President and CEO John Gary Herrera. \u201cIt is actually safer on a bus than in your car. That is a testament of the driving skills that our operators have.\u201d <\/p>\n
