Butte Regional Transit is a public transit system which provides bus service in the communities of Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Magalia, Oroville, Palermo, Paradise[1] and across Butte County, California. In 2005, the consolidation of CATS in Chico, OATS in Oroville and BCT in Butte County resulted in the formation of this transit agency. This agency is also known as B-Line. [2]
