Het archief bevat stukken en dossiers betreffende de exploitatie van tram- en autobuslijnen in het vervoersgebied van de N.V. Streekvervoer Westnederland, begrensd door de plaatsen Den Haag, Leiden, Utrecht, Gorinchem, Dordrecht, Rotterdam, Hoek van Holland.
N.V. Verenigd Streekvervoer Westnederland
De NV Verenigd Streekvervoer Westnederland is in 1968 gevormd door een fusie van de bestaande Westlandse Streekvervoer Maatschappij (WSM) te Den Haag en de Autobusonderneming Citosa te Waddinxveen. Het bedrijf, een hoofdkantoor te Wddinxveen (later Boskoop), verzorgde vanaf 1 januari 1969 het streekvervoer per autobus in een groot deel van de provincie Zuid-Holland en in het zuidwestelijke deel van de provincie Utrecht, begrensd door de plaatsen Den Haag, Leiden, Utrecht, Gorinchem, Dordrecht, Rotterdam, Hoek van Holland. Ook het lokale stadsvervoer in enkele middelgrote gemeenten in Zuid-Holland werd door het bedrijf uitgevoerd, o.m. in Delft, Gouda, Gorinchem en Alphen aan den Rijn. Naast het streekvervoer per autobus heeft Westnederland van 1983 tot 1994 ook de exploitatie van de sneltram Utrecht - Nieuwegein - IJsselstein verzorgd.
In 1974 werd het bedrijf van Van Gog's Autobusdiensten NV, sinds 1967 een dochteronderneming van Citosa, in het bedrijf geïntegreerd. In dat zelfde jaar werd het streekvervoerbedrijf NV Vervoermaatschappij De Twee Provinciën overgenomen en geïntegreerd in Westnederland. In 1987 tenslotte ging het Autobusbedrijf "VAGU" BV op in het grotere geheel van Westnederland.
Aanvankelijk was Westnederland een dochteronderneming van de NV Nederlandse Spoorwegen. In 1982 werden de aandelen van de streekvervoerbedrijven door de NS overgedragen aan de Staat der Nederlanden, die deze onderbracht in de NV Aandelenbezit Streekvervoer. In 1989 ging deze vennootschap op in de NV Verenigd Streekvervoer Nederland (VSN), later de VSN-Groep. Op 1 november 1994 fuseerde Westnederland met de N.V. Streekvervoer Zuid-West-Nederland (ZWN), gevestigd te Zierikzee, tot de ZWN-Groep te Boskoop.
N.V. Westlandse Streekvervoer Maatschappij
De NV Westlandse Streekvervoer Maatschappij is in 1881 opgericht als NV Westlandsche Stoomtramweg Maatschappij (W.S.M.) en was gevestigd te Loosduinen. Het bedrijf verzorgde het openbaar vervoer per stoomtram over de lijnen Den Haag - Loosduinen - Kijkduin, Den Haag - Poeldijk - Hoek van Holland, Poeldijk - Maaslandse Dam - Delft en Maaslandse Dam - Maassluis. Vanaf 1923 werden ook motortrams en autobussen in gebruik genomen, terwijl vanaf 1932 het personenvervoer geheel per autobus werd uitgevoerd. Het omvangrijke goederenvervoer werd nog tot 1969 door de tram verzorgd.
In 1941 heeft de WSM de lijndiensten van autobusbedrijf VIOS te Wateringen overgenomen. De WSM verzorgde vanaf dat moment het streekvervoer in het Westland, in de driehoek Den Haag - Rotterdam - Hoek van Holland. In 1943 werd de WSM een volledige dochteronderneming van de NV Nederlandse Spoorwegen. In 1968 fuseerde de WSM met Citosa tot NV Verenigd Streekvervoer Westnederland.
N.V. Autobusonderneming Citosa
De N.V. Autobusonderneming Citosa is opgericht in 1933, als voortzetting van het busbedrijf van Jan en zijn zoon Jelle Kok te Boskoop. Jan Kok had in 1922 een busdienst geopend tussen Boskoop en Leiden, welke lijn hij sinds 1926 gezamenlijk met twee andere ondernemers uitoefende in de firma Trio. Na diverse overnames en uitbreidingen verzorgde Citosa het streekvervoer per autobus in het gebied begrensd door de plaatsen Leiden, Utrecht, Gouda, Rotterdam en Den Haag. In 1967 werd het busbedrijf van de Gebr. van Gog te Capelle aan den IJssel overgenomen, dat het vervoer verzorgde tussen Rotterdam en Gouda. Dat bedrijf bleef als dochteronderneming van Citosa, vanaf 1969 van Westnederland functioneren tot in 1974. In 1968 fuseerde Citosa met de WSM tot NV Verenigd Streekvervoer Westnederland.
N.V. Vervoermaatschappij De Twee Provinciën
De NV Vervoermaatschappij De Twee Provinciën te Rotterdam is in 1942 opgericht als samenwerkingsverband tussen een viertal kleinere bestaande autobusbedrijven. De vorming van de De Twee Provinciën door deze bedrijven was een tegemoetkoming aan de vergunningverlenende instantie die, ter verhoging van de efficiency, vergroting en concentratie van de autobusbedrijven nastreefde. De Twee Provinciën verzorgde het streekvervoer per autobus in het gebied begrensd door de plaatsen Rotterdam, Gouda, Utrecht, Gorinchem en Dordrecht.
De ondernemingen die deelnamen in De Twee Provinciën waren:
Nadat in 1966 de NV Ridderkerksche Autogarage- en Omnibusmaatschappij was overgenomen door de Nederlandse Spoorwegen, zijn de overige drie bedrijven samengevoegd bij de Reederij op de Lek. Deze vennootschap werd eind 1971 overgenomen door de Nederlandse Spoorwegen en in 1974 samengevoegd met NV Verenigd Streekvervoer Westnederland.
Fa. Verenigde Autobusdiensten Gouda-Utrecht V.A.G.U.
De firma Verenigde Autobusdiensten Gouda-Utrecht V.A.G.U. te Oudewater is in 1942 opgericht als samenwerkingsverband van twee kleine zelfstandgige busondernemers B. Blom te Gouda en A. Zanen te Oudewater. De vorming van de VAGU was een tegemoetkoming aan de vergunningverlenende instantie die, ter verhoging van de efficiency, vergroting en concentratie van de autobusbedrijven nastreefde. De VAGU exploiteerde de autobuslijn Gouda - Oudewater - Utrecht.
De VAGU nam deel in de Stichting Coördinatie Autovervoer Personen (CAP), die de belangen behartigde van een tiental kleine autobusondernemingen in de provincies Zuid-Holland en Utrecht. Deze stichting heeft bestaan van 1948 tot 1968.
In 1987 werd de exploitatie van de lijn Gouda-Utrecht overgedragen aan Westnederland, waarna de onderneming, die inmiddels in een besloten vennootschap was omgezet, werd geliquideerd.
De archieven van de afzonderlijke bedrijven werden gevormd op de hoofdkantoren van deze ondernemingen. Door centralisatie kwamen ze in beheer van één onderneming, de VSN-Groep, later Connexxion Nederland N.V.. De archieven van Westnederland zijn, tesamen met de archieven van de overige voorgangers van Connexxion, ter bewaring en bewerking geplaatst in een bedrijfspand te Schoonhoven.
Het archief van de VAGU is in particulier bezit geraakt en uiteindelijk terecht gekomen bij de Autobus Documentatie Vereniging.
De archieven zijn in 2014 geschonken door Connexxion Nederland NV, behoudens het archief van de VAGU. Dat deel is in 2015 geschonken door het bestuur van de Autobus Documentatie Vereniging.
Uit de archieven is vernietigd, maar bij de overbrenging zijn omtrent de criteria welke daarbij zijn gehanteerd, noch over de omvang, geen mededelingen gedaan.
De archieven van de streekvervoerondernemingen zijn bij de bewerking gescheiden gehouden, ten einde ze te kunnen overbrengen naar de regionale historische centra waar ze op basis van de vestigingsplaats en het vervoergebied het beste op hun plaats waren. De indeling en beschrijving is geschied overeenkomstig de voor bedrijfsarchieven gebruikelijke normen.
Aanvullingen op de archieven worden niet verwacht.
Het archief is door schenking verworven.
