Click on above, read article.

To the best of my knowledge, there never was a bus line numbered 77/54, 
particularly in 1964 when the 77/54 carline was still running, at least 
from Oakland to the North Side only.

Also in this article, it states that the Railways lost about 10% 
annually.   I had read that the carlines were still making money and the 
company was in the black, but not reinvesting in plant.

Comments appreciated.
