Manitoba's Bus Heritage

The Manitoba Transit Heritage Association has a great collection of vintage buses. Over the course of the summer you may see them at festivals or events.

Their most popular bus is their oldest one - a 1937 Twin Coach 23R.

To make you feel old, the newest bust acquired is over 25 years old ! It's a 1984 New Flyer D901A in the now-retired orange and cream colours.

The latest acquisition was a pair of 1950s coaches restored by New Flyer. This 1954 Western Flyer Scenic Cruiser traveled the Winnipeg / Lockport / Selkirk route for Grey Goose for decades.

With the great windows and chrome inside and out you could tell that the bus industry was working to match a sense of the style that was luring the traveling public to the airlines.
