History
- Pacific Stage Lines was formed in 1922, originally known as BC Motor Transportation Ltd., and was a subsidiary of the BC Electric Railway
- The first major expansion of Pacific Stage Lines was in 1950 when BCER discontinued interurban tram service to Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley.
- The next expansion was in 1960 when the BC Government initiated ferry service to Vancouver Island via Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay and Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay.
- It was sold to the BC Government along with BCER in 1962.
- A new 4-digit numbering sequence, consisting of the original PSL number with the prefix "6" was then adopted.
- In 1979 Pacific Stage Lines was merged with Vancouver Island Coach Lines to form Pacific Coach Lines (1979) Ltd. This company was to be a schedule operator only and the Gray Line Tour franchise and charter licenses were sold to private operators. At this time, most pre-1970 coaches were then sold to various operators.
