Paper Bus Connection – 紙巴士總匯

Buses deserve to look nice and attractive.

Although you might not be willing to pay to ride the Culture Bus in San Francisco when it was in service, now you can bring the Culture Bus home for free.

That bus was inaugurated in September 2008 and was discontinued on August 15, 2009. The purpose of the bus was to connect the Museums in Golden Gate Park, Civic Center, and Downtown together. The idea was good, the branding was attractive, but the execution was terrible. As soon as potential riders figured out the fare was much higher than its worth ($7 day pass), they kept away from the line and the management had done nothing to boost ridership (like lowering fares).

It is unfortunate to see all the branding go to waste.

PBC, one of the oldest paper bus web site, is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

10 years ago, Hong Kong bus web sites and discussion boards sprung up all across the interest during the dot-com bubble. Today, PBC has proved the test of time, and brought paper buses to new heights in China and the United States.

Happy New Year!

Since 2004, Orion V has been the workhorse for Golden Gate Transit, running up and down the major routes between San Francisco and the North Bay, as far as Santa Rosa. A trip from Santa Rosa to San Francisco takes 2 1/2 hours.

These buses are outfitted with high back coach seatings.
