History
South West Coach Lines was founded in 1977 by David and Lenita Adams. In January 1986, it commenced operating the Bunbury City Transit service (since renamed TransBunbury). In November 2007 the business was purchased by Veolia Transport[1] and in July 2013 became part of Transdev Australasia.
It operates express coach services, school services and bus charters.
In December 2009, South West Coach Lines commenced operating three services in Busselton under the TransBusselton brand under contract with the Public Transport Authority.[2] Upon being re-tendered, the routes passed to Swan Transit from 1 January 2015.[3][4][5]
South West Coach Lines operate 14 school services and express coach services connecting Perth with various destinations in South West Western Australia.[4][6]
Since late 2014, South West Coach lines has been owned by Australian Transit Group.[7][8]
