Cardinal Coach Lines 1908-1915

Cardinal Coach Lines 1908-1915 were 2001 model Thomas FS-65 buses. Their features included a low roofline, short windows, and an internal speaker/PA system.

All eight units were purchased from Thomas Bus Sales (Spruce Grove, AB) and delivered brand new to the Calgary branch in August 2000. In 2003, all units were transferred to the Vancouver branch, where all units (except for 1909 and 1910) would spend the remainder of their service lives. 1909 and 1910 would find their way back to Alberta in 2014, living out the remainder of their lives at the Airdrie branch.
