In October 1960, the first AC Transit buses rolled out on East Bay streets and across the Bay Bridge. Billions of passengers and miles later, AC Transit recognizes its 50th anniversary with an invitation to take a look back over the years through its online archive of historical materials.

Gathered, organized, and scanned with the help of dedicated local transit buffs, AC Transit’s history pages include complete collections of the Transit Times newsletter and annual reports, as well as planning documents and marketing materials, photographs, and fare media. The 50th Anniversary archive also includes system maps and photographs of each AC Transit bus type operated over the last 50 years.

By presenting these materials, AC Transit hopes to provide a valuable resource for researchers, journalists, students, and bus riders–old timers and newcomers alike–for whom AC Transit has been a big part of their lives.
