Here's our “original” bus. It's a 1959 GMC Good Look model, and Community Transit leased 18 of these buses when the agency was getting started in 1976. We've kept this one around for parades and events. In honor of Community Transit’s 50^th Anniversary, we’d like you to help us give the bus a name, so we’re holding a contest on Facebook and Instagram!

You may have seen this bus out in the community at parades and fairs. Later this spring, you’ll have a chance to board the bus and learn more about Community Transit’s rich history in the region. More on that soon.

Here’s what you need to know about the contest for naming our original bus:

How to enter:

It’s easy! Go to Community Transit’s Facebook or Instagram post and drop your suggestion in the comments. You must be logged in to your social media account.

The Rules:

• Names cannot be trademarked or copyrighted.
• CT selects the finalists.
• The public will vote on the winning name.
