1988 Greyhound / Motor Coach Industries model TC40102N "Classic"

Bus #316 was part of a 34 bus order by Winnipeg Transit in 1988 that was awarded to Greyhound/Motor Coach Industries.  The units operated in regular service until 2007/2008.

This bus is owned by Winnipeg Transit. A letter of request for donation to the MTHA has been sent to the City of Winnipeg.

Historical Note: General Motors establish a Division in 1938 to service customers needing diesel power. After the purchase of Yellow Coach in 1943, the company formed General Motors Truck and Coach Division. General Motors had build intercity Highway coaches, transit buses and Rapid Transit Series (RTS) buses until 1987.

In Canada, buses were manufactured initially in London, Ontario and moved in 1979 to Saint-Eustache, Quebec where both the GM "New Look" and GM "Classic" models were built.

In 1987 the factory was sold to Greyhound Dial Corporation with the Classic model being manufactured and sold initially under the Greyhound banner and finally the Motor Coach Industries brand.

The company was then sold in 1993 to new entity called Nova Bus Corporation.
