The story
Formation
Bus Queensland was established in April 2009 when the Pulitano Group purchased the operations of Kynoch Coaches and Garden City Sunbus.
Kynoch Coaches was a family-owned operator based in Stephen Street, Toowoomba, providing urban, school and long-distance services prior to its acquisition.
Garden City Sunbus was formed in September 2003 as a division of Sunbus after Hagan’s City Bus relinquished its operating licence following unsuccessful negotiations with Queensland Transport regarding subsidy increases.
Long-distance operations
Bus Queensland operated a network of long-distance coach services from Toowoomba to Cunnamulla, Lightning Ridge and Rockhampton. In January 2015, further contracts commenced for services from Brisbane to Charleville and Mount Isa and from Townsville to Mount Isa.
On 10 December 2021, Bus Queensland’s remaining long-distance service contracts were transferred to other operators, including Greyhound Australia, Murrays, and Trans North Bus & Coach.
