[PRCo] Re: Allegheny County's new Transit Development Plan

[Schneider Fred]

They did ... the attempted to integrate about 30 independent bus  
companies and Pittsburgh Railways into one system.    It still  
roughly follows the same logic of route numbers rotating around the  
city.

Pittsburgh Railways was never consistent.   They reused route  
numbers.    The shuttles, for example, never had numbers until the  
abandoned enough trunk lines to release enough numbers so that they  
could be used a second time on the shuttles.    Route 52 was  
previously 49 Beltzhoover but Beltzhoover went out either via tunnel  
or via Arlington Avenue at different times.   If my memory is working  
(and I'm too lazy to plug this monitor into the other computer to  
check factoids), it might have also be route 46 at one time.       
Carrick via tunnel was variously 47 or 53.   Glassport was 98 or 99  
depending on which year you looked at it.
