History

After selling their long established south-western Sydney bus operation to Westbus in June 1989, Joe and Tony Calabro purchased Surfside Buslines from Greyhound owner Russell Penfold in October 1989 with 56 buses. The Surfside operation grew with the Tweed Bus Service (1993), Gold Coast Citybus (February 1995), Gold Coast Tourist Shuttle (September 1998) and Coomera Bus Lines (May 2001) 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. In April 2010, the Townsville operation was expanded with the acquisition of Hermit Park Bus Service.

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.

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.
