March 25, 1951 Cincinnati trolley routes 32 (Elberon-Price Hill), 35 (Warsaw-Price Hill), and 36 (Warsaw-Carson Street) were converted to bus operation with the latter 2 getting trolleybuses. All 3 routes used Peter Witt cars after the St. Louis PCC cars were sold and shipped to Toronto. Warsaw Avenue had the PCCs before their sale.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? March 25, 1956 Philadelphia trolley route 21 (Market Street and North 17th and 18th Streets) was converted to bus operation with postwar Mack buses obtained from route G (56th Street) which received new GMC TDH-5106 diesel buses. This was a logical move as no GMC buses were assigned to Luzerne Depot. The route 21 conversion was due to construction work on the new Penn Center projects. Also, lock-type fare boxes appeared on all PCC cars and buses assigned to Germantown Depot.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

March 25, 1956 Detroit's Gratiot trolley line converts to bus to permit the sale and shipment of the PCC cars to Mexico City. A fan trip a few days later uses a PCC in the Mexico City colors.
