Interline Bus Services is an Australian bus company operating services in South West Sydney.

History

Interline Bus Services was purchased by the Oliveri family in September 1961 trading as Ingleburn Bus Service. In November 1988 it merged with Oliveri's Transport Service, Green Valley with both renamed Metro-link Bus Lines in July 1989.[1][2] In September 1993 it was again separated and rebranded Interline Bus Services.[3][4][5]

Since 2005 Interline's services have been part of Sydney Bus Region 2.[6] From July 2014 Interline will operate all services in the region including those currently operated by Busabout.[7]

Fleet

As at December 2013 the fleet consisted of 38 buses.[4] In the 1980s the Ingleburn Bus Service fleet consisted of Bedford YMT3s and Leyland Super Vikings and Tigers, two of which were configured as coaches.

In the early 1990s ex ACTION Leyland Nationals, Transperth Leyland B21s and State Transit Authority Leyland Atlanteans were purchased. These were in turn replaced by ex ACTION Mercedes-Benz O305s and Renault PR100.2s. More recently new Volvos have been purchased.

Following the Oliveri family's purchase of Southern Cross Transit, Karana Downs in August 2002 many Interline buses have been transferred for further service.[8][9]

Ingleburn Bus Service had a light green and red livery that gave way to Metro-link's turquoise. Interline adopted a white and blue scheme.
