Thanks for the rt 200 bus routing Herb.

So did rt 200 kind of wander around the top of Mt. Washington, come down the 
back towards Saw Mill Run Blvd, head towards West End Circle, cross over to 
the northside, and head generally towards Manchester Car House?????  (Don't 
have Pittsburgh map handy).  Warrington/Beltzhoover:  that would put the 
terminal somewhat east of the 33 end of track?
As for 33, wasn't there a previous post about 32 once extending to West End 
Bridge?  Maybe that is were the 33 line designation disappeared.  As usual, 
the answer probably lies in the car line cards at PTM.
