Omnibus Bulletin

The Omnibus Society grew out of the Omnibus Bulletin, a monthly bus industry magazine that was published between 1981 and 1995. It included histories of many bus companies no longer in existance, along with current news of the day, wich now serves as a historical record in its own right. There is a Article Index if you are interested in a specific company and back issues are available at $5.00 each.
