As Rapid Transit begins, bus 111 turns 75 !

As Winnipeg Transit's newest buses get set to finally travel the new rapid transit busway, one of Winnipeg' s oldest transit buses is celebrating a milestone !

Manitoba Transit Heritage Association's 1937 Twin Coach 23 R turned 75 on February 15. It is the oldest bus in MTHA's fleet that spans 50 years and still prowls the streets of Winnipeg on special occasions. Keep an eye out for it and the rest of the fleet at events this summer.
