Canada Coach Lines or Canada Coach was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hamilton Street Railway. They had some scheduled runs in the Brantford, Hamilton & Niagara areas as well as charters.
History
- Established in 1923.
- Canada Coach Lines bought the Hamilton Street Railway from Ontario Hydro in 1946. A short time later the corporate arrangement was changed so that the CCL was the subsidiary.
- HSR was sold to the City of Hamilton in 1960.
- HSR sold CCL to Trentway-Wagar Coach Lines in 1993.
Operations
- Operated transit service in Cambridge (Galt) from 1950 until January 31, 1962.
