LOS ANGELES — A Bay Area shuttle company says it's not involved with Republican governors' efforts to transport migrants across the United States, even though buses with its distinct rainbow pattern on the side and name — Marin Airporter — have been plastered in news coverage.
The San Rafael-based company operates eight routes in Marin County and makes some of its buses available for charter, but the company said it was caught off guard when a bus with its logo was seen dropping off migrants from Texas in New York last week.
GOP Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida have recently taken to transporting recently arrived immigrants to liberal cities and states, and at times right at the homes of political opponents in what critics have called a political stunt at the expense of a group of vulnerable people. Immigrants have arrived in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Martha's Vineyard and, at one point, at the doorstep of Vice President Kamala Harris' home.
