CDC Victoria
In November 2008 it was announced that ComfortDelGro Cabcharge had entered into a $149.2 million contract to acquire Victorian bus operator Kefford Corporation. With a fleet of 328 buses and six depots, it was the fourth largest bus operator in the state of Victoria with a market share of 16 per cent. The bus still operates in the livery of Westrans, Eastrans, Benders Busways and Davis Bus Lines, but with a CDC Victoria sticker pasted on the sides of the bus, most notable below the driver's window in the front of the bus.
These Victorian operations are based in depots operating from Altona (trading as Westrans Altona), Oakleigh (trading as Eastrans), Sunshine (trading as Westrans Sunshine) and Werribee (trading as Westrans Werribee) in metropolitan Melbourne and in the major regional centres of Geelong (trading as Benders Busways) and Ballarat (trading as Davis Bus Lines).
ComfortDelgro Cabcharge Victoria (CDC Victoria) operate metropolitan route bus services in the Altona, Caroline Springs, East Keilor, Footscray, Oakleigh, St Albans, Sunshine, Taylors Hill, Werribee and Williamstown Areas.
CDC Victoria operates a regional service in Ballarat covering, Alfredton, Black Hill, Brown Hill, Buninyong, Canandian, Creswick, Delacombe, Eureka, Invermay, Lake Gardens, Miners Rest, Mount Pleasant, Sebastopol, Webbcona and Wendouree.

Famous quotes containing the word victoria:
“Sometimes my wife complains that she’s overwhelmed with work and just can’t take one of the kids, for example, to a piano lesson. I’ll offer to do it for her, and then she’ll say, “No, I’ll do it.” We have to negotiate how much I trespass into that mother role—it’s not given up easily.”
—Anonymous Father. As quoted in Women and Their Fathers, by Victoria Secunda, ch. 3 (1992)
