A trip to town in the Sunday best or a ride across the city at the weekend made up many a bus trip. Here are some of their anecdotes: Jenny Olsson said: “My memory of the buses is that they were all red. The closest stop to our place was in Grey St. “We caught the bus to town all dressed in our Sunday best, with hats and gloves on for Mum and I, and my brother had a shirt and a tartan tie. Dad never came to town because he was working. “We did the shopping, then caught the bus home. The buses lined up on The Square with the shelter for your back towards the Rosco building, and you faced the shops that went from the ANZ bank to the post office.
