Safe Bus was a Black-owned transportation company formed in 1926 to serve the African American community in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
It was created at a time when trolleys extended into white neighborhoods only. The company eventually became part of the city's Transit Authority.

"What is the Safe Bus Company of Winston-Salem?
When Winston-Salem’s contracted bus carrier departed the city in 1968, the Safe Bus Company was tapped to provide transportation to all residents, making it the largest African-American-owned and operated transportation business in the world."
