Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

To establish a public display consisting of former Auckland Regional Authority (ARA) buses, restored, preserved for posterity and the people of Auckland City, present, former and future. At a later stage, we will enter talks, or discussions with the appropriate organizations to promote the idea of forming a bus museum, covering a wide variety of urban buses and tour coaches that have served through-out New Zealand. The emphasis initially will be on vehicles pre-1990.

Note: The main sectors, activities and beneficiaries are bolded.
