Transborder Express


Transborder Express is an Australian bus and coach company based in Yass. Since September 2012, Transborder Express has been owned by ComfortDelGro Australia.

History

Transborder Express was established in July 1954 by Jack Williams operating a mail service from Yass to Canberra connecting with the South Mail at Yass Junction railway station with limited passenger capacity as far as Yass. On 1959 a passenger service between Yass Junction and Canberra commenced connecting with the Intercapital Daylight. Trading as Yass Canberra Coaches, it was renamed Transborder Express in 1983.
In May 1999, Transborder Express purchased the coach operations of Lever Coachlines with four coaches. In July 2008 Transborder Express was sold to Deane's Transit Group but retained its own identity.
In September 2012, ComfortDelGro Cabcharge acquired Deane's Transit Group which included Transborder Express.
