A Rich History
The history of buses and coaches in Australia can be traced back to the early 20th century, with horse-drawn omnibuses serving as the primary mode of public transportation in cities like Sydney and Melbourne. By the 1920s, motor buses had emerged and quickly replaced their horse-drawn predecessors.
During World War II, buses played a vital role in transporting troops and supplies. In the post-war era, the rapid expansion of Australian cities and towns led to a surge in demand for bus services, leading to the establishment of numerous bus companies.
