Grand River Transit

[panamaniac]

I remember taking the old South Ward bus (#8) when I was a kid. There was a bus stop at Ottawa and Mill St (actually on the short diagonal bit behind the church) that was unusual - it was a small wooden structure with a pitched roof and diagonal walls like an "X" that served to protect you from the weather. There was a wooden bench, painted dark green like the bus stop. I think there were more of them around town, but they weren't that common. Funny to think of that as being almost on the edge of town back in the 1950s.
