This bus roster covers all makes and models used by the HSR in its over 80 years of bus ownership. I’ve tried to include any previous owners and any subsequent owners, but there may be errors in either. If there are no numbers listed next to a new or previous owner, then the bus’s HSR number is identical to that of its new or previous owner.
:2 - second bus with this number
btw – between
NIO – Not In Order (i.e HSR 1, 2, 3 becomes CCL 14, 12, 13)
odd – odd numbers only (i.e. 1601, 1603, 1605)
r/b – rebuilt
r/n – renumbered
CC&F - Canadian Car & Foundry
CCL – Canada Coach Lines
GMC - General Motors Corporation
GMDD - General Motors Diesel Division
MCI - Motor Coach Industries
NFI - New Flyer Industries
OBI - Ontario Bus Industries/Orion Bus Industries
TTC – Toronto Transit Commission
