Who we are

A society of volunteers

The Society is made up of dedicated volunteers passionate about restoring and preserving Western Australia's bus transport history. We're funded by donations, grants and our members, and we operate our workshop at Whiteman Park to maintain and restore the fleet.

From working buses to restoration projects, the collection is cared for in the workshop and shared at community events, at Revolutions Transport Museum, and on the road.
