The bus that took the trolley's name

2009–2026 · the Interurban Trolley, verified to November 2026

Osceola's present transit is a bus wearing the interurban's name on the interurban's own corridor: in September 2009 the Michiana Area Council of Governments launched the Bittersweet/Mishawaka route of its Interurban Trolley system, linking Elkhart and Mishawaka through Osceola — the Story of Osceola section leg carries the launch — and the route is still the town's service in November 2026, verified for this section against the current published schedules. It runs today as the system's Yellow Line Bittersweet, with Osceola stops at Lincolnway & Ash and Lincolnway & Bittersweet, weekday service from 5:30 in the morning, the system running Monday through Saturday and resting Sundays and major holidays. At Mishawaka the rider transfers to Transpo's Route 9 for South Bend. The electric cars of the second article of this section stopped at a station at mile 10.1; their namesake's buses stop at Lincolnway & Ash — the same crossing habit, a century apart, on the same road east.
