End of the City Streetcar and Electric Trolley
The Regina Transit system used electric trolleys
exclusively until 1955, when the first diesel buses
were introduced to the city. Buses slowly began
to replace trolleys until the last trolley completed
its route in 1966. To keep pace with the growth
of new suburbs in the 50s and 60s, the city added
more routes, with diesel buses traveling to and
from the downtown core.
In 1975, a Paratransit Service began providing
residents with disabilities who were unable to use
regular transit system. Paratransit provided
door-to-door, driver assisted service.
