[PRCo] Re: 84 Larimer/96 East Liberty

[Matt Barry]

So, I take it the Larimer route was really an altered version of 82 
Lincoln, that is, instead of following the 82 up  Lincoln Avenue, it 
turned off onto Larimer Avenue, to Paulson?

The route that regularly worked the Larimer Ave. - Paulson Street area 
was route 96, correct?    That route of course, when it left the Larimer 
area, went up Penn Ave. to Negley, to Stanton, thru Morningside, to 
Butler Street ( a scenic route, at the top of Morningside side and then 
along the Allegheny River on Butler St.).     Does anyone know if this 
route was replaced as it was, by bus?

I seem to recall that in the early 60's, for a short time, there was a 
thru bus to Morningside that ran along Butler Street to town.
