Mission Statement
The Transit Museum Society aims to increase awareness and share knowledge about the rich history of transit in British Columbia. The organization is dedicated to restoring, preserving, and operating historical vehicles significant to the public transit story of the province. Through these efforts, it ensures that future generations can learn about and appreciate the evolution of public transit in the region.

Geographic Focus
The Society operates primarily in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Its home base is currently in Langley, BC, and it serves the province by maintaining a fleet of vintage transit vehicles that once operated in Vancouver and neighbouring communities. The Society’s events and preservation activities are focused in this region, with occasional participation in local transit heritage events.

Program Highlights
Key activities include restoring, maintaining, and operating a fleet of historic buses and other public transit vehicles. The Society organizes public excursions, educational tours, and community events with these restored vehicles. Volunteers are deeply involved in their work, including special projects like converting historic buses into mobile museums and participating in local heritage celebrations. The Society also preserves transit artifacts, memorabilia, and documents, ensuring a thorough record of public transit’s history in British Columbia. Past initiatives include operating the Vancouver Downtown Historic Railway and collaborating with local organizations to promote transit heritage.
