[PRCo] Re: finally Port Authority starts to restructure around T

[John Swindler]

Hi Herb

One of them did, perhaps Jefferson.  49D went down the back of Rolling Hills 
development to Cretestone, then looped back via Linden Grove.  It was a long 
time ago.  And 41G could be used as feeder to 42/38 at Dormont Wye.

PRC had the feeder routes to suburban developments.  No reason to run a 
competing transit service to the rail routes.  But the 41B and 41C are a 
legacy of independent bus lines, which competed with the railways.  Guess 
which business model PAT followed.  What a waste.
