Truck & Bus Transportation was a Sydney-based monthly trade magazine covering aspects of transport in Australia.
Overview[]
Truck & Bus Transportation was established in July 1936 by Frank Shennen as Transportation.[1] It was renamed Truck & Bus Transportation in March 1940.[2] It originally covered all forms of transport, but after a short while rail and tram news was withdrawn, with it focussing on the bus and truck industries.[3] It was sold in 1986 to the Murray family.[4]
Shennen Publishing later founded Railway Transportation and Freight & Container Transportation that shared some content with Truck & Bus Transportation.[5][6] It ceased publication in June 2003.[7]
