Rollsigns from Woodstock, ON |
Public transportation in the area of Woodstock began with interurban electric railway service provided by the Woodstock, Thames Valley and Ingersoll Electric Railway Company. Rail service was abandoned in 1925, after which bus service took over. The service was ultimately discontinued in 1945. Recorded city transit service in Woodstock started mid century (1940's / 1950's) with Bluebird Coach Lines. The City of Woodstock took over transit operations in the early 1970's and continues to this date, operating what some refer to as "a working museum" of older vehicles such as 35 foot GMC New Looks, both original to the system, and ones acquired second hand form several other systems such as Brantford, Cambridge, Hamilton, Oakville, Orillia, Stratford, and Welland, Ontario, as well as some from Santa Monica, California. |
