About Greyhound

More Than 100 Years of Connecting Australia.

Since our beginnings in regional Queensland, Greyhound has grown to become Australia’s largest coach network.

For more than a century, we’ve helped connect communities, support regional travel and make it easier for people to experience more of Australia. Today, our network spans the country, helping thousands of people travel between major cities, regional centres and remote communities every year.

While our coaches, technology and services have evolved over time, our purpose remains the same: connecting people and places through safe, reliable and accessible travel.
