The destination sign says it all! Partially rebuilt 1978 Flyer D800-B that we call "793". This is the last bus of it's kind in all of Ontario, if not Canada. It was rebuilt by Mississauga Truck and Bus.

This photo is the old terminal building that was located across from the car barns on King Street at Preston Street . It later became the site of Berkley Tavern and a new terminal.  The photo also includes one of the street cars that went down King Street and turned around at this terminal. In the distance are the car barns.

"Former Kitchener Transit #731 was found serving as a storage shed in Hamilton,Ontario. The owner had previous plans to convert the bus to a motor home but did not get very far in the process. He got as far as removing the seats and starting to build walls inside the coach. 731 served as the Kitchener Transit training bus 5942 after retirement"
