porkchopsjar Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi, I'm trying to find old Edmonton Transit route maps, preferably from before 1994 when they revamped the system. Thanx in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi, Are you looking for any specific years and/or routes or just anything? Between the different members around here, I'm sure we have a decent representation of anything from about 1980-1997!

porkchopsjar Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 ^^^ Cheers for that, T6H...yeah, I'm specifically looking for guides from between about 1989 and 1994, when I first started using ETS. Purely sentimental reasons... But looking at that 1980 guide takes me back, that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cool. I am working on getting some stuff scanned right now. The ride guides are an interesting challenge... I may try using a commercial scanner after work tomorrow. It is possible, but quite awkward to stitch them together using my scanner at home that can barely do an 8.5x11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 First up, September 1987. I am still working on the scanning process, but this appears to have transferred OK with minimal cuts. http://barp.ca/bus/alberta/ets_media/ Enjoy. More to follow!

T6H-5307N Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Updated the above link. I will say thanks as well, as scanning some of this stuff has been on my list of things to do for a very long time and you provided me with some motivation to do so! There should now be an April 1994 ride guide in there. I am still digging, but I'm pretty sure I've got 1982, 85, 86, 88, 92, 93, 96, 97, and most years from 1998 to today. I also added a few different styles of route brochure: 1988, 1993, and 1997. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Added 1982 and 1996. All sorts of interesting historical goodies... I believe the September 1996 map was the last of the old system? Unless someone can confirm that they bothered printing an April 1997 map when the system was due to change so soon anyway.

I can't believe that I lived along (142ave) the most north eastern part of Edmonton that Edmonton Transit serviced in 1980. I was only 6 years old and remember those days like it was yesterday. Our house was brand new and I could see CN Rail's trains go by before they build Fraser and Kirkness communities. Eventually the route 72 started up to service those communities when Clareview station opened up. I even remember that route map. I might have some old maps at my parents house sitting in the old coffee table in the family room! I'll check next time I'm in Edmonton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Does anyone have maps from before LRT in 1978? My collection of ETS maps from the 1960s and 1970s was destroyed when I moved to Winnipeg in 1985, to my perpetual regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
