History

• April 6, 1952 - Service begins as a Detroit Street Railway route after the Baker streetcar line converts to buses. The Chene bus route takes over the east-side portion of this crosstown streetcar route. Initially, the route operates from Cadillac Square in downtown Detroit to Joseph Campau and Davison Streets via Chene Street and Joseph Campau.
• 1966 - Service extended along Davison, Mount Elliott and East Nevada Streets to Van Dyke, replacing portions of the newly-discontinued Davison Shuttle route. Night service, however, continued to terminate at Joseph Campau and Davison.
• July 1, 1974 - Service carried on by DDOT.
• 1980 - Service rerouted from Chene and I-94 to Joesph Campau and Denton Streets via East Grand Boulevard and Hamtramck Drive due to the neighborhood in between being completely demolished for a General Motors plant.
• 1989 - Service rerouted via Joseph Campau and East Nevada from Davison and Joseph Campau to Nevada and Van Dyke.
• 1997 - Evening service to the Bel-Air Shopping Center via Van Dyke and 8 Mile added.
• 2001 - Downtown terminus moved to Capitol Park after the Cadillac Square Transit Center closes permanently.
• 2004 - Service to the Bel-Air Shopping Center discontinued.
• April 23, 2005 - Overnight service discontinued by then-Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
• 2009 - Downtown terminus moved to the newly-opened Rosa Parks Transit Center.
