San Francisco Gets Old Bus
The city grants permission for a 1929 double decker bus to run a 16 stop route from Powell Street to the Maritime Museum near Van Ness Avenue. A 25 cent fare will cover the trip offering views of old ships and vessels tied at Fisherman’s Wharf. The piece also notes Kublai Khan’s early game conservation practices in the 13th century.
