Play ball, ride the bus
In 1940 when this photo was taken, buses and streetcars were the way to get to Crosley Field. Here, a line-up of buses and streetcars stretches as far as the eye can see awaiting the end of the game and throngs of happy fans ready for the ride home. Photo courtesy of the Phil Lind Collection.

I love a parade
Keeping with the baseball theme, this photo shows Buster, Metro's baby bus, in the Findlay Market Association's annual Reds Opening Day parade. That's Metro Mechanic John Herzog entertaining the crowd with his driving skills - he looks pretty serious to be driving a 6-foot long bus. Photo courtesy of the Metro Collection.

Ride the bus to paradise
April is traditionally spring break month, and this photo from an early Queen City Metro promotion demonstrated that riding the bus can save you enough money to enjoy a tropical vacation. That is just as true today as it was 35 years ago. Photo courtesy of the Metro Collection.

Six feet under
April showers bring May flowers, but in 1937, January brought a flood that submerged much of downtown Cincinnati. The Ohio River reached 73.35 feet and stranded this streetcar on the Rt. 30/34 along River Road (today served by the Rt. 50.) Photo courtesy of the Phil Lind Collection.
