Minot began running public transportation sometime in the 1970s with buses branded as "City Bus". The original fleet consisted of a number of 1977 AM General Metropolitan buses that had a Blue, White, and Green branding.
A 1977 built Minot City Transit bus, constructed by the American Motors General Metropolitan and modeled after a Canadian bus, was donated to the Midwest Bus Museum in 2021.[1]
