Rollsigns from Guelph, ON |
Transit in Guelph dates back to 1895 with the incorporation of the Guelph Railway Company. It changed it's name to Guelph Radial Railway in 1903, and operated until the end of June, 1939, with a number of other name changes during its existence. The modern Guelph Transportation Commission has operated several models of buses through its history, and continues to provide service today. As visible from the signs shown below, the routes in Guelph didn't change much in the 20 year span of the first six signs. |
