armorand Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 The old Kitchener livery looks much better! And the logo reminds me of Winnipegs, how we got two letters in one creatively: Note the W to the right of the T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMoldlook Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 While we're on the subject of history, anyone have any old Kitchener Transit maps/route guides to share on here? I'd love to see a few things I was a bit too young to follow up on, such as the route of the old 12 Rosemount... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC60102N Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I found this on a wordpad file on my computer, which was saved off an old Kitchener Historical website which probably no longer exists.... I am not sure who wrote it or who owned the website, but here is what I had copied and saved regarding route 12. "One of the oldest abandoned routes that I remember is the Route 12 Rosemount. Before the current 12 headed for Fairview Mall along Kitchener's west side, the Rosemount bus traversed some of Kitchener's oldest and most established areas, just east of Downtown. It traveled on Cameron and East Ave, Krug St. and Sherwood Dr. and finally the neighbourhood and street of Rosemount itself. If one drives around that area today, you can still see many of the old bus platforms, either abandoned or taken over by the Routes 1 and 8B, both of which now travel over parts of the old Rosemount route."
