Blue Ridge ran a real hodgepodge of equipment...I grew up at Donaldson's
Cross Roads and saw it from all four directions.  Then Greyhound bought the
company about 1955 and bought some really nice suburban coaches.  I
frequently rode them home from school and to/from Canonsburg.

In another era before PAT, there were two bus companies on West Liberty
Ave thru Dormont in addition to PRC Rt 38.  People usually boarded
which ever came first.  Fare the same.  Both Bigi and Blue Ridge ran there.
Bigi service very extensive and preferred by most passengers.  Very clean
buses and very courteous drivers.  Presently PAT routes 41-B and 41-C.
PRC cars not too clean and usually needed paint and a bath.
