St Leonard Public transit 1953

In 1953 this was public transit in St. Leonard. It went from the corner of Desgrosbois and Azilda (never heard of it - Chimples) to the corner of St. Hubert and Cremazie. It did 140 miles a day and could handle 48 passengers, 18 sitting, 30 standing.

    Hey, I think that's called a Jitney. Right?

    I wonder if it ran on time, or whether they depended on Joel Gauthier's father to try and tell the time and then make up an excuse when it was late.
