Calgary's city owned transit system started operation in 1909, replacing a small, private bus system. The transit system was known as the Calgary Electric Railway, renamed in 1910 to the Calgary Municipal Railway. This system was run entirely with streetcars until 1932 when the first motor bus was placed into service. In 1946 the name was changed to the Calgary Transit System, and 1947 saw the first trolley coaches hit Calgary streets. In late 1950 the streetcar system made its last run, with trolley coaches being its replacement. The trolley coaches were replaced in March 1975, with the official last run being on May 8, 1975. 1981 saw the return of electrically powered rail vehicles to Calgary when the Calgary LRT line was opened. This line consists of 2 lines. #201 from Brentwood (northwest Calgary) to Fish Creek-Lacombe (south Calgary), and #202 City Centre to Whitehorn (northeast Calgary).
