> I also rode the #12 local bus, which nowadays serves Grand Ave. in Oakland, and got a last-day transfer from that line, including "Route: 12." I wonder: Were the streetcars that once served Grand Ave. ever were designated #12? I'm not enough of a Key System expert to know.
Oaklandguy, I was hoping Key Route Ken would have answered your question for us. Ken, I hope you're OK.
The OB&E website has a map of Line 12: Grand Avenue - 16th Street Station: [

Bill Vandervoort's Chicago Transit and Railfan site has a page about Oakland Transit Routes. It shows Route 12 being Grand. [
