Welcome!

This is the official website documenting the restoration and preservation of two historic retired Calgary Transit buses, numbered #1130 and #5073. Here you’ll find a detailed account of these experiences intended to educate and raise awareness about our work among the transit enthusiast community, transit professionals, and the general public. We also hope this site will inspire and guide anyone considering a bus restoration project of their own.

My name is Nick. I am a bus enthusiast and licensed Class 2 driver. Most of the content here is written from my perspective, though some sections were co-written by others involved in these projects. If you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to answer them — just use the contact information in the top right corner of each page.

Both of our buses are also available for photo/video shoots, shows, and events. Please reach out with inquiries.
