The following operations fall under the group:
HistoryAfter selling their long established south-western Sydney bus operation to Westbus in June 1989,[2] Joe and Tony Calabro purchased Surfside Buslines from Greyhound owner Russell Penfold in October 1989 with 56 buses.[3][4] The Surfside operation grew with the Tweed Bus Service (1993),[5] Gold Coast Citybus (February 1995),[6] Gold Coast Tourist Shuttle (September 1998)[7] and Coomera Bus Lines (May 2001)[8] operations purchased. The Calabros also formed Bustech, a bus manufacturing business. In April 2008, the Sunbus operations were purchased from Transit Australia and all of the Calabro's Queensland operations consolidated under the Transit Australia Group. In November 2008 Magnetic Island Bus Services was purchased and in April 2009 the Sunbus Toowoomba operation sold to the Bus Queensland group.[9][10][11] In April 2010, the Townsville operation was expanded with the acquisition of Hermit Park Bus Service.[12] In 2011, Bustech successfully launched Australia’s first double decker (CDi model) bus for urban transport since 1973. In 2015, the manufacturing arm also attracted international attention with the unveiling of Australia’s first electric bus designed, engineered and manufactured domestically. In 2016, TAG formed a strategic alliance with Precision Components in Adelaide to develop an advanced manufacturing facility to produce next-generation, environmentally friendly diesel and electric buses. In February 2018 Mobike, in partnership with Transit Australia Group and Good Cycles, distributed 200 dockless shared bikes around Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach with the number expected to grow to 2,000 by the time of the Commonwealth Games in April.[13][14] Today, Transit Australia Group continues as Australia’s mass transit specialist partnering with governments, public authorities and private operators to innovate and enhance transport products and systems. In April 2019, Transit Australia Group was purchased by AATS Group, that is majority owned by OPTrust. Bustech was not included in the sale.[15] References1. ^The List Sunday Mail (Adelaide) 26 August 2012 2. ^"Calabro's Sold" Fleetline November 1989 page 176 3. ^"Stateliner takes over Greyhound" Australian Bus Panorama issue 5/5 March 1990 page 23 4. ^"Surfside Bus Lines" Australian Bus Panorama issue 6/6 February 1991 page 45 5. ^"Surfside Bus Lines" Australian Bus Panorama issue 9/5 January 1994 page 40 6. ^"Surfside Bus Lines" Australian Bus Panorama issue 10/7 April 1995 page 54 7. ^"Gold Coast Tourist Shuttle" Australian Bus Panorama issue 14/5 April 1999 page 56 8. ^Major bus buys for Kefford & Hill {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014234224/http://www.busnews.com.au/news/articleid/63111.aspx |date=14 October 2013 }} Australasian Bus & Coach 9. ^Sunbus Australian Bus Fleet Lists 10. ^Kynoch Coaches and Sunbus Toowoomba sold to Pulitano Group Australian Bus & Coach 11. ^Bus Australia Toowoomba Australian Bus Fleet Lists 12. ^{{cite press release|title=Transit Australia Group buys Hermit Park Bus Company|url=http://www.tagroup.net.au/images/TAG%20and%20Hermit%20Park%20merger.pdf|publisher=Transit Australia Group|date=2009-03-01|accessdate=2010-07-24|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706123745/http://www.tagroup.net.au/images/TAG%20and%20Hermit%20Park%20merger.pdf|archivedate=6 July 2011|df=dmy-all}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mygc.com.au/new-dockless-bikeshare-scheme-launches-gold-coast-today/|title=New dockless bikeshare scheme rolls out on the Gold Coast today|date=21 February 2018|accessdate=6 April 2018}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://mobike.com/au/blog/post/mobike-gold-coast|title=Mobike Australia Begins in Gold Coast|date=6 November 2017|accessdate=6 April 2018}} 15. ^[https://www.busnews.com.au/industry-news/1904/skybus-operator-to-acquire-transit-australia-group-bustech-not-included Skybus Operator to Acquire Transit Australia Group - Bustech not Included] Australasian Bus & Coach 2 April 2019 4 : Bus companies of Queensland|Companies based on the Gold Coast, Queensland|Transport companies established in 2008|2008 establishments in Australia |
