Cardinal Bus

In 1923, Branston Shoup purchased the Middlebury Bus Line, which consisted of a 5-passenger Model T touring cars servicing routes from town to town in Indiana. The service expanded over the years with the addition of other vehicles. Upon Branston’s death in 1953, his son John took over the company and expanded into the charter bus business with the purchase of Cardinal Buses.

Then, in 1998, the Shoup group of services was sold to a consolidation company. However, the Shoup family bought back the rights to the operations in Middlebury, Indiana, and Holland, Michigan. Cardinal Buses was back, once more providing quality professional charter bus services.
