The Canberra Transport Museum has been established to preserve the transport history in the ACT and surrounding regions. We hope one day to have a physical museum site which will be open to the public, featuring restored historic vehicles, displays, photographs and other historic transport memorabilia.
At the current point in time the CTM aims to run at least one ‘tour’ or event each year, where members of the community will be able to travel on one or more of our historic vehicles navigating old bus routes, take photos and visit scenic locations. As we further invest time into the project, we hope in the near future our members will also have the opportunity to assist us with restoration projects and to set up a physical museum site and/or travelling museum site.
Please bear with us as we gradually expand our fleet and range of memorabilia, as this is a slow process and the CTM is staffed by volunteers, contributing our own time and money towards these projects. Please stay tuned to our website and social media pages for updates from time to time and details of upcoming events.
