Mount Lebanon still does not use school buses for the normal purpose, though
it has several to carry the sports teams and their camp followers around,
and to handle the requirements of the disabled and those living in the
district but attending other schools.

  I went to grade school between 1967-1973.  Believe it or not, the
Mt. Lebanon School District never had regular school buses while I
was there through high school. I do distinctly remember the roll sign
on the PAT bus as "Tripper". After grade school I began walking to
jr. high and then to high school before I saved my money for my first
automobile(a 1975 Chevy Malibu).
   The fact that Mt. Lebanon had no school bus service was always
disappointing to the students when a decent snow came along. Alot
of the school closings on snow days was directly linked to school
bus service. Seemed like we rarely missed any days at Mt. Lebanon
schools.
  I don't remember how long PAT operated the school trippers in
Mt. Lebanon, but don't remember seeing them anymore when I went to
jr. high.
  Thanks for the links to the articles Bill!
