Maui Bus is the public transportation service of Maui County, Hawaii, and is operated by Roberts Hawaii under a public-private partnership with the county government. They operate 12 regular local bus routes and 4 commuter routes, which have a single early morning run and a return trip in the afternoon and require a reservation.

History

The Maui Bus service was started as the Holo Kaʻa service in 2002 with a joint venture between the private company Akina Aloha Tours, the non-profit organization Maui Economic Opportunity, and the county government in a subsidized joint venture to provide bus service for South, West, and Central Maui.[3] Low ridership (blamed on the lack of advertising for the system) led to Akina Aloha Tours losing $1 million over the following two years.[4]
