SacRTmap_1976_11

This is a map of Sacramento's Regional Transit (RT) service map for greater South Sacramento (including Meadowview, Pocket Area, Greenhaven, South Land Park Hills, Land Park, Sacramento City College, and portions of Oak Park) in 1976-1977. Along Florin Road, you would notice line 67 (no, not the current line 67 of today) that operated as a limited service express bus between Florin Mall and the Yolo County town of Clarksburg. That line 67 was discontinued by RT in the early 1980's. You will also notice that lines 5, 7, and 63 all terminated at the corner of Meadowview Road and 24th Street. Line 64 continued to the Parkway area of South Sacramento. Line 9 ended its service at the corner of Riverside Blvd and 14th Avenue. Line 9 was renumbered lines 86 and 87 in the early summer of 1982. Line 2 has been operating along Riverside Blvd since the Sacramento Transit Authority days, predating the 1960's. Line 6 just stopped north of Florin Road. On the older bus stops that are now gone, line 6's given terminal is "Green Acres." Line 6 continues to serve Land Park and South Land Park Drives. Line 5 operated alongside line 6 until 2003, when line 5 was moved to its current routing alignment. During the 1990s, line 5 operated from Downtown Sacramento to Elk Grove via Land Park Dr, Meadowview Rd, Brookfield Dr, Mack Rd, Elsie Avenue, and Elk Grove-Florin Road. At a later time, line 5's southern terminal was moved to its current terminal at Florin High School.
