about the first bus line that local traffic congestion was really bad back in August 1923. What climate was L.A.’s first bus entering into? Well, L.A. already had a very robust streetcar network, but Western Avenue, where the first bus line got started, didn't actually have streetcars. For that reason, it was a really great choice for a bus line. The intersection of Wilshire and Western was the busiest intersection in pre-freeway Los Angeles.
They also used to make exact change on buses and trains. In 1968, they went to exact change , because it was too much of a temptation for some passengers to commit robberies of the operator's change belts. So, that indicates to me that things were pretty safe all the way up until maybe the late ‘60s.Q: I understand L.A. has long experimented with alternative fuel. To what extent was the bus system involved in that? We had gas electric buses in the ‘20s.
