If you don't have some nostalgia with buses, probably you are from "Pandora" of James Cameron. Just kidding 😂 Few historic masterpieces around. If you could hear to them, I am pretty sure all of them will be sharing beautiful memories of generations, journeys that took people where they wanted to, window seat camera reels etc. Mr Tom S, VP is polite, friendly and passionate. Such people keep the traditions, memories alive. Kudos to him. During my visit, there were a bunch of about 10 visitors. $5 per head donation will be very helpful and requested. Enjoy your visit.

Absolute gem, run by helpful and kind enthusiasts. The amount of elbow grease and love that went into this place really shows. It’s a part working garage and part museum, made really special by the lovely bunch of enthusiasts running it. Hope to bring my kid again during the open day in August!

Great place to visit and for me to be nostalgic. There were many buses to see. Many from nearby cities in the Bay Area. I was surprised to see a 38 Geary bus from the late 60's early 70's that took me to my school in San Francisco. It even still had the coin meter that I would use at the time. It was 10 cents a ride back then. Saw the Tammy Wynette bus. Great to see some of her personal items in the bus. A perfect place to revisit your childhood and bring your family. Street parking can be difficult during their open house. But still highly recommended.

Great collection of antique buses! The volunteers are really knowledgeable and fun to talk with! Many of the old buses were used in films! They did a great job restoring and preserving these old people movers!

An innocent sense of curiosity will draw out these vivid pictures that may have been quietly stored or lost in memory. This museum has taken an endeavor of tremendous effort to bring the details of those old memories and bring them forward. I applaud with great enthusiasm for what has been done. To this I am careful to bring attention to what is being presented. Because sometimes you have to slow down to take in the moments. Think about what the caretakers have done here. To revive something special and important, you have to know what 10¢ meant just the other day. It's more than just a bunch of buses, it really was an experience not long ago to get from here to there, to want to be somewhere, to see someone or something. There is texture to that memory, that has been lost to time. Somehow you have to be in the moment. It was a magical time of either waiting, wondering or the hopeful anticipation of an arrival or seeing that special person. Maybe it was a job, or the devastation of a last ride after defeat, only to get back to it the next day. Anything less than 5 stars is thoughtless and cruel. ... If you are angry, it had nothing to do with a museum. "It's you"
