Greyhound Australia will be well placed alongside Entrada Travel Group’s suite of tourism brands, including New Zealand’s largest land-based passenger transport network, InterCity.
Greyhound Australia CEO Dan Smith said the new ownership comes at an exciting period of growth for the coach network which would benefit from Entrada Travel Group’s experience and breadth in consistently delivering top quality, seamless passenger transport.
“We're enthusiastic about this new journey with Entrada Travel Group and joining a family-owned business with deep roots in the coaching industry," Mr Smith said.
“Entrada’s vision of growth and innovation in travel and tourism across New Zealand and Australia means they’re the perfect fit for Greyhound, with their experience and connections opening up new opportunities.”
Both Entrada Travel Group and Greyhound Australia have a strong regional focus and connect to the heart of the country, serving as crucial links for towns, cities and communities.
All existing bookings on Greyhound Australia’s journeys will remain and services and timetables will continue as planned. Both companies are committed to prioritising customer satisfaction and business continuity which Greyhound Australia customers have come to trust over the years.
