Spokane City Lines
Spokane City Lines was a mass transit company that operated in Spokane, Washington, United States, from 1945 until 1972.
History
In June 1945, the sale of Spokane United Railways was announced. As a subsidiary of Washington Water Power, the transit operation would be sold to Pacific City Lines for $850,000 and operate as a new company to be known as Spokane City Lines. Several days later, articles of incorporation were filed for the new transit company. Following state approval, the new company began operations on July 7, 1945.In January 1968, transit workers with Spokane City Lines went on strike after a settlement on wages broke down. Following a successful ballot proposition to impose a household tax to funding public transportation, Spokane City Line was selected to operate the newly created Spokane Transit System on behalf of the City of Spokane.
