I thought originally 202 was supposed to be the last trolley bus into Westwood. If that was the case, why were all those BBC's waiting for 202 to go in first?

Both 202 and 1947 T-44 148 had a special floor covering that I've never seen elsewhere, not even on other ETS buses including the BBCs and low-floor Flyers. The floor under the seats in 148 appeared to be raised slightly above the aisle, like an MC-7 highway coach.

almost a year later. have we made progress? lrt expansion opening in a few days. the entire transit system is accessable. yes, the average citizen might say we have. i personally miss the experience of riding a trolley. i think we've lost something as a city. now that the trolleys are gone i hope other groups take notice. enjoy the facilities you have now because council and management can choose to end them with a vote.

How sad to see the History of trolleys gone. Hope this Video HUANTS them (Ciy Condllers) for not upgradging to the New ones (#6000).
