Wilbus was a municipal bus service provided by the village of Wilmette, Illinois, from 1974 to 1995.[1] Its motto was "Home of the World's Friendliest Bus Drivers". It was created by the village board after the bankruptcy of the privately-owned Glenview Bus Company. It operated as a division of Wilmette Public Works until January 7, 1995, when it was absorbed into Pace, the suburban bus division of the Regional Transit Authority (RTA).
