Historical NotesToken used on the Penn Transit Company bus line. After a few changes, the PTC came under the ownership of Penn Bus Lines in 1934, who officially changed the name to Penn Transit Company. The transit focused on McKeesport and Sutersville, as well as Leechburg, Kittanning, and Greensburg. City Coach lines later bought PTC in 1937.
