TODAY IN BUS HISTORY
1953 - In 1953 the Baton Rouge city council passed a new seating law, Ordinance 222, ending segregation on buses but it was not enforced. The laws of Jim Crow continued, as the front ten seats of the Baton Rouge buses remained reserved for white passengers. In response, Hayes, Theodore "T.J." Jemison, Willis Reed, Columbus Dunn and other civil rights leaders planned the Baton Rouge Bus Boycott. They organized a system of carpools in which car owners volunteered their vehicles or taxied people to various destinations themselves. The boycott was a success with almost no blacks riding the buses all day on June 20, 1953. The buses rolled by mostly empty since about 80 percent of the system's customers had been black.
1975 - In Reno, Nevada Harrah's opened its Sports Casino at the former site of the Greyhound Bus Station on June 20, 1975. The casino had 11000. square feet of gaming area and was licensed for fourteen table games, a $25,0oo-limit keno game, and 150 slot machines.
1998 - A westbound Greyhound bus slammed into a truck parked just 28 feet from the turnpike in central Pennsylvania, killing seven people and injuring 16. The parked truck then hit another parked rig. Investigators determined that the bus driver, who died, was sleepy because of cold medicine and infrequent breaks on his trip from New York City to Pittsburgh.
