History

The Trobec family has been in the bus industry for 70 years.
In 1938 Tony and Frances Trobec, with the help from Tony's
uncle, purchased a school bus for the cost of $2,100. The
Trobec's purchased the bus so that the students of the St.
Stephen area could continue their education beyond the
eighth grade. The company continued with one bus until an
additional bus was purchased to do a run to St. Cloud.

In 1956, Mr. Ed O'Connell of District 742 in St. Cloud
approached the Trobec's asking them to put in a bid to
transport students from the St. Joseph/Collegeville area into
St. Cloud to attend high school. After obtaining the bid, the
Trobec's were joined in the business by Tony's brother, Joe.
Trobec's continues to flourish in the school bus business.
During this time, they also began running inter-campus
shuttles between St. John's University and the College of St.
Benedict.

Trobec's purchased their first motor coach in 1963. At the
time, they ran primarily in Minnesota to ball games and other
activities, usually day trips. In 1981, Trobec's received
interstate authority. This authority was upgraded in 1993 and
now Trobec's Bus Service can Adventure to 49 states and
Canada.

In 1982, Tony and Francis' three children, Tom Trobec, Betty
Trobec and Emily Gohman took over the business. Tom and
Betty remained hands on, in conjunction with the exceptional
staff, mechanics and drivers. Tony Trobec passed away in
August of 2004. In 2006, Tom Trobec retired, and Betty
Trobec now owns 100% of the business. Still, Trobec's Bus
continues to thrive and sore to new heights.
