The above represents the first incarnation of this band's name.  Rapid Transit played the dance / battle of the bands, teen fair circuit throughout Washington.  The band's name went on for many years after with Jeff Medguard being the only remaining original member.  One later version gigged mostly in Alaska, though they still called Washington their home.
