Before there was the Chicago Transit Authority, there was a public transportation company in the Windy City known as the Chicago Surface Lines. The Chicago Surface Lines was primarily an electric streetcar operator, but actually did have a fleet of buses as well. Seen here at the Illinois Railway Museum, located in Union Illinois, are a 1944 White transit bus and a 1922 Electric streetcar. Both served the citizens of Chicago well for many years.
The Chicago Transit Authority as We have known it for many years, was formed in 1947.
