Beep, beep! Get on the bus, everyone. On this episode of Museum Chat Live! we are celebrating the first anniversary of the 337 Crosstown bus route that ends here at the Museum. We have stories about getting lost, preferred bus etiquette, and some interesting tales about St. Catharines’ nearly-forgotten streetcars.

Lovely pictures of St Paul Street! I live downtown and a hundred years ago I could jump on a streetcar to Port Dalhousie, connecting with a ship that would get me to TO in an hour. Things were so fast back then, compared with the crawl up the QEW today.
