Uptown's Bus Depot To Be Replaced By Two New Depots In West Metropolis.

Metropolis, Bridgerissa. February 9th, 2017.
Warning Sign In Randall Mourie Depot Telling Trackless Trolleys To Raise Their Electrical Poles.
Randall Mourie was the acting president of Metropolis Transit from 1982 to 2008 when he appointed his niece, Nicholette Casey, to take over the system. Within that time period, his popularity grew in the Early 1990s when he created the Elevated Subway system from former trolley lines. As part of renaming contest in 1998, his name was chosen for Uptown's Bus, Trolley & Trackless Trolley Depot next to Metropolis Transit's Headquarters Building as well as the renaming of Lindsay Depot to House Park Depot. Fast-forwarding into 2017, Nicholette Casey is now facing an overcrowding issue with the Bus & Trackless Department of the Depot. While the trolley side of the depot is fairing off better with their 19th Century trolley shed, the bus & trackless side is cluttered on an off-day.

Ran Mourie Bus Depot is the smallest in the bus & Trackless system. Only 90 buses can fit within the lot at one time despite over 120 buses being assigned to it. Metropolis is currently building two new depots within West Metropolis. One being the future 20th Street Depot along Bridget which will house the R, 13 & 18 Trackless Trolley. The diesel buses will be moved to the new Casey Ave Depot which will be located at Casey & 14th Street. Both new depots are set to be completed later this year.
