Regina, Saskatchewan

==Transportation==
===Public transportation===
The city's public transit agency, [[Regina Transit]], operates a fleet of 110 buses, on 17 routes, and 4 express routes. The service runs 7 days a week with access to the city centre from most areas of the city. Regina formerly had an extensive [[streetcar]] (tramway) network but now has no streetcars, trains or subways. A massive fire at the streetcar barns, on 23 January 1949, destroyed much of the rolling stock of streetcars and trolley buses<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scaa.usask.ca/gallery/regina/north/fire_dept.html |title=Regina: The Early Years 1880–1950 |publisher=Scaa.usask.ca |access-date=14 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140312133443/http://scaa.usask.ca/gallery/regina/north/fire_dept.html |archive-date=12 March 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref> and helped to propel Regina's diesel bus revolution in 1951, although until well into the 1970s the streetcar rails remained in the centre of many major streets, ready to be returned to use should city transit policy change. Because of the 1949 fire, original Regina streetcar rolling stock was rare, though through later years a few disused streetcars remained in evidence – a streetcar with takeaway food, for example, on the site of the Regina Theatre at 12th Avenue and Hamilton Street, until the [[Hudson's Bay Company]] acquired the site and built its 60s-through-90s department store there.
