Rollsigns from Lafayette, IN
This mylar front destination sign (left) was designed
for one of their Highway Products Twin Coach buses.
It is dated February 22, 1977 and has 19 exposures.

Its sign tag reads as follows:

GREATER LAFAYETTE
P.O.0577
2/22/77 TRANSIGN
15 TWIN COACH
In 1970 the privately owned Greater Lafayette Bus Company abruptly ceased operations and the City of
Lafayette assumed operations of the transit routes. Since the system's routes operated in both Lafayette
and the City of West Lafayette, a funding arrangement was created that allowed the use of property tax
revenue from both cities, in addition to funding from the federal government and the State of Indiana.
Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation (GLPTC) was formed to operate transit service in
the two cities and some surrounding areas of Tippecanoe County. In 1998, GLPTC began using the
name CityBus. CityBus is a contracted partner with Purdue University and Ivy Tech Community College
for public transportation services. The agreement is called an "unlimited access" agreement because
it gives students, faculty, and staff unlimited, fare-free access to the CityBus system.
