The Kerrville Bus Co. still exists, but headquartered in Austin. The buses don't have the once familar Kerrville Bus Co. name on their sides. I don't think they run scheduled routes like they used to, but only operate as charter buses. My last experience with them was when we chartered several of them for a high school band trip approximately 30 years ago.<br /><br />Concerning the picture, it looks like that there are gas pumps on islands inside the service drive thru. I do not remember them existing when the facility was used as the bus station. <br /><br />Thanks for the memories, Joe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185899036941198756.post-66665386346319867492013-04-04T14:07:53.960-05:002013-04-04T14:07:53.960-05:00Peterson's was a great place to have your car ...Peterson's was a great place to have your car repaired. It was one of the long-time standards of Kerrville.<br /><br />My ancient mind plays tricks on me once in awhile, so I am forgetful and sometimes get things wrong, but at one time wasn't the building also utilized as a bus station?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
