Mackay Transit was a bus operator in the Australian state of Queensland. It operated in the Mackay region under contract to the Queensland Government to operate urban and school bus services utilising the Translink banner. As of 2023, Mackay Transit has changed its name and branding as part of a business re-brand by the parent company, Kinetic. Mackay Transit has now been dissolved into the Kinetic Group with its fleet of buses reflecting this change.2

How it started

History

In May 2022, Mackay Transit was acquired by Kinetic, an Australian-based multinational bus operator.

In late 2023, Mackay Transit was officially branded as Kinetic, with all new advertising now showing the Kinetic Brand. All new buses will display the Kinetic logo with the current logo and branding of Mackay Transit Coaches slowly being updated to reflect the new brand name.
