Pacific Bus Museum, Transportation museum in Fremont, California, United States
The Pacific Bus Museum preserves and displays vintage buses from the 1930s through the 1990s, offering visitors a chance to explore restored vehicles that once served communities across Northern California and the western United States.
Founded by dedicated transit enthusiasts in the late twentieth century, the museum has assembled a collection documenting the rapid expansion of bus networks during the post-World War II era, when California experienced significant population growth and urban development.
The museum engages the local community through educational programs and special events that highlight the role of public transportation in shaping regional development, fostering awareness of sustainable commuting practices and preserving the craftsmanship behind vintage transit vehicles.
Open on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the museum charges five dollars admission for adults while children enter free, and visitors can reach the site at 37974 Shinn Street with ample parking available nearby.
Several buses in the collection remain fully operational and are occasionally used for rides during special events, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the mechanics and onboard atmosphere of mid-twentieth century highway coaches and regional transit vehicles.
