1970's Old Red Flexible Metro Transit Bus (MTC).

Back in 1985, Hollywood came to the Twin Cities to film the movie: That Was Then....This Is Now: Starring Emilio Estevez and Craig Sheffer. The producers just happened to use one of the old MTC City Buses for that movie, and here are all the scenes featuring that bus #461, built in 1972 and retired from service in 1984. The bus didn't travel an actual Route in the movie, but the scenes were filmed in St. Paul's East Side around Maria and 5th. Back then bus routes serving that neighborhood would have been the St. Paul, Route 3 Line. Today the area is served by St. Paul Routes 63 and 70. Special thanks go to Aaron Isaacs and Scott Thompson for much of the historical information.
