CHAMPAIGN — Local bus company Suburban Express shut down all operations Tuesday, according to a court filing from owner Dennis Toeppen posted late in the day.

Suburban Express' website was unreachable Tuesday afternoon except for a refund submission form, as required by the consent decree Toeppen reached last month with the Illinois Attorney General's Office.

Toeppen is also shutting down his other transportation companies, Allerton Charter Coach and Illini Shuttle.
