     Also in this area, is a large callboard, which shows the wait times of most of the major attractions. This callboard is kept updated throughout the day. 

Main Street Vehicles

Horse Drawn Streetcars

These vehicles take guests on a one-way trip to the Central Hub and back to Town Square. Two cars are usually in use at all times and simultaneously reach their end routes. A switch point midway allows the two cars to pass each other. This attraction is free.

Horseless Carriages

Two automobiles travel up and down Main Street at any given time. Both were designed and constructed by Disney. The red automobile was put into service in 1955 and the yellow vehicle joined it in 1957.

Disneyland Omnibus Presented by National Car Rental

The Omnibus is not always operating, but when it is, it's a fantastic trip around Main Street USA. The Omnibus can hold 45 passengers and is modeled after a New York Double-decker bus. The Omnibus is also used for 'Rainy Day Cavalcades' when weather doesn't permit the regular parade.
