Here's a photo of our Harran bus taken at the 2009 Spring Fling.


Remember, the Fling flea market will take place on the lower level of the Museum at 161 Museum Drive, Hershey--there is a special admission to the Museum that day of $5.00 (of course, free to all members of the Museum of Bus Transportation--remember to bring your membership card).


There will also be access to the Annex. We will have a shuttle bus running there from the Museum, so you will be able to photograph the buses we have on the lot.

Now that everyone has their taxes behind them--start thinking about the SPRING FLING. I can certainly tell you, just the thought of SPRING is nice here in the Susquehanna Valley--the flowers and trees have finally started to bloom--but we are still having chilly weather and lots of RAIN!

Plan NOW to join us on Saturday, June 4, 2011 for a GREAT Spring Fling!

A big thank you to Phil from CAT, Tom Collins, Ken McNelis and Sharon and Oliver Ogden who came out on this cold and rainy day to start some Spring Cleanup at the Annex. Did manage to get some good weed wacking done and cleanup and trash in the dumpster before the rains came.

No - this is NOT an April Fool's Joke: HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett says the state bus — a throwback to his Democratic predecessor — is going on the auction block. The Republican stood beside the 41-foot motor coach Wednesday at a news conference in a PennDOT garage in Harrisburg. He says it'll be sold at an upcoming auction in Centre County. Corbett says the vehicle, covered in a colorful wrap bearing the slogan "Government on Wheels," has traveled less than 26,000 miles over the past eight years while costing taxpayers $66,000 to maintain. The bus needs a new transmission module and cannot move under its own power. Corbett says it symbolizes what's wrong with state government — it's outdated, inefficient and broken down. But he acknowledges that he traveled in a similar vehicle in last year's campaign.
