Happy Birthday Disco Bus

The Disco Bus is the Big One-O. It hardly seems like 10 years since the first Disco Bus rolled out of the depot to ferry passengers to and from the big discos all night long.

The Disco Bus is the Big One-O. It hardly seems like 10 years since the first Disco Bus rolled out of the depot to ferry passengers to and from the big discos all night long.

Those early pioneering days were fraught with problems, as there were mass demonstrations by taxi drivers who saw the bus as a threat to the easy money they were earning ferrying passengers to the clubs.

Now the Disco Bus runs five routes, has its own 'soundtrack,' its own special team of tourist guides, and carries 200,000 people every summer.
