This is a great exercise in branding and is a sign of a city that knows and is happy to celebrate its history. The HSR has wrapped two buses in retro liveries and from last Saturday to yesterday offered free rides on them. They also had giveaways at different locations and a historical museum/display downtown. This is all in celebration of 150 years of the HSR.

I managed to catch one of the retro buses yesterday. There is another one in a maroon livery, but that proved harder to catch.

Managed to finally catch the other retro bus at the 150th anniversary open house today. Great event. Not many photos from inside the facility unfortunately as their legal department advised against it. Scored a free commemorative Presto card as well and bought some postcards.
