Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids Railroad
Car named "Melville R Bissell"
In 1934 Grand Rapids
became only the second city in the nation to abandon electric rail service
entirely, replacing it with buses. The streetcar era in Grand Rapids came
to an end on August 23, 1935, when the last streetcar made a final run
along the Cherry Street route.
