Did Rt 96 operate downtown in the PCC era?

Maybe not as much artis's license as would appear. At one time, route 96 did operate from downtown to East Liberty via Penn, Butler and Morningside. Was shortened to 62nd St. loop in late teens. There is a PUC decision that involved several changes to reduce number of car routes on Penn Ave. At the time these included Frankstown, Bloomfield Loop, Fifth-Shady-Penn, rt. 94, rt. 96, and a Penn-Larimar. (and I've forgotten one other)
