Happy birthday to us
Metro celebrates its 36th birthday on Aug. 15 so we present this look at the bygone birthday bus. This service was provided by the transit company as a money-maker - the bus could be rented for birthday celebrations that included cake, ice cream, decorations and a ride around town.
