I'm fascinated about the story of jitneys in Los Angeles because this is the first time I've read about it. One always hears about street cars and the Red Car, but barely any mention of jitneys. :) Thank you for the ride back into history!

You're very welcome, Carren. I did not know about the LA Jitneys myself. (Also gives context for the "jeepney" - which, of course, must've come from the G.I.s)
