“Take a bus, take a train” are lyrics in Canonsburg native Perry Como’s popular “No Place Like Home for the Holidays” song.
Perhaps even Como never realized how literal his lyrics would end up, blending public transit with the holidays.
But Port Authority of Allegheny County staffers have been decorating some buses for years.
And this year, the authority dedicated its first holiday-themed light rail train (or T, as we call it).
Amy Duffy has decorated her bus for the last few years. Her 41 route takes her through Mt. Lebanon, South Fayette, Bridgeville, Collier and Carnegie.
The Pittsburgh Trib’s Signal Item newspaper chronicled her in 2017.
The newspaper covered her again in 2018.
Port Authority’s spokesman said the agency has about five or six buses decorated.
If I ever run across one of these decked out rides, I might purposefully miss my stop!
