Our fourth quarter, time for a new look

Along with our new website, we’re excited to unveil a new logo and brand identity for Busways.

Backed by 76+ years’ experience providing bus services in NSW, Busways is still at the forefront of passenger transport innovation. We’re still your local bus operator, but we’re also testing transport for the future - leading an automated vehicle trial in regional NSW, operating on demand public transport and exploring new technologies such as zero-emission vehicles.
