At about 12:40 p.m., Lee Harvey Oswald boarded a Dallas city bus near Elm and Murphy streets.β
The bus proceeded west on Elm Street, headed directly toward the Texas School Book Depository -- where Oswald was only moments before.
After traveling just over 1/10 of a mile, Oswald exits the bus on Elm Street between Lamar and Poydras streets.β β
Oswald is believed to have walked south on Lamar Street, crossing Main Street where the presidential motorcade passed by only moments before, toward Commerce Street and the Greyhound Bus Station.β β
