[edit]All the stories are anecdotal in nature. I'm with the Healy/Denali Chamber of Commerce and many of the stories have passed by me. The article's current revision (as of 06 feb 2008) is an accurate accounting of events, in my opinion. The Alaska Department of Natural Resources is currently involved in tracing the ownership of the bus. I have yet to see a fully documented accounting of the history.Neal1047 (talk) 18:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's generally assumed that it has something to do with a public transit system preceding the Metropolitan Area Commuter System. Public transportation in Fairbanks actually does have a very long history. AFAIK, it was all privately owned and operated until MACS came along, which required separate affirmative votes by borough and city voters to make happen. University Bus Lines, first under Paul Griemann and later Walt Conant, was in business for over four decades. There were other companies which came and went during those years, from what I can tell. If anyone has this much time, I'd bet that a search for "Fairbanks City Transit System" in old phone books and Polk directories would be a good place to start.

[edit]any chance of adding coordinates? e.g. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=&jsv=143c&sll=52.632356,4.750678&sspn=0.100852,0.2211&ie=UTF8&geocode=FZarzgMdFNEb9w&split=0 — Xiutwel ♥ (msg) 21:46, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
I found the bus on Google Maps and added a placemark. It can be found by searching for "Magic Bus, Stampede Trail, Alaska" or similar.JohnnyCalifornia 18:17, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
