Hunter Valley Buses
Hunter Valley Buses Pty Ltd, trading as Hunter Valley Buses, provides commuter bus, school bus, coach and charter services in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales.
A core element of the company's charter operations is providing transport to the state's premier wine-growing region.
Established as Blue Ribbon Coaches Services in 1986, the company operated from depots at Wallsend, Raymond Terrace, Maitland and Singleton. In 1999, the Wallsend, Raymond Terrace and Maitland depots were consolidated at a new site in Thornton. The following year, the company was sold to Westbus, the state's largest private bus operator. In 2005, Westbus and Blue Ribbon were purchased by ComfortDelGro Cabcharge resulting in Blue Ribbon being rebranded as Hunter Valley Buses.
Today Hunter Valley Buses operates a fleet of over 160 buses ranging from mini buses to luxury 5-star coaches and employs over 260 staff. Its commuter network carries 500,000 private passengers and 1 million Hunter school children annually.
