Ever seen a “fishbowl” bus from the 1960s up close? Chicago Transit Authority's Heritage Fleet Bus 301 is rolling into Griffin Museum of Science and Industry for Kickoff to Summer Picnic on June 5 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.! 🚌

Built in 1962, this rare bus earned its nickname from its giant windows and gave Chicago riders a whole new view of the city until it retired in 1983.

Climb into a piece of transit history and kick off summer at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry. Visit link in comments for more info.
