Check out the electric street cars!

It’s Transit Appreciation Week!

Today, we’re looking back at the history of CU Transit buses. Our city has had many kinds of public transit over the years, but the old electric street cars were something special. They had a cool, classic feel that makes people nostalgic—even if you never rode one!

This photo shows a street car on a road many of us know in downtown Springfield. Do you recognize where it is?
