Company History


Locally owned and operated

Buslink is a localy business owned by Territorians, with its head office and main depot in Darwin, with offices and local Managers in Humpty Doo (Darwin’s Rural Area), Jabiru and Alice Springs.

Each Manager is responsible for the day to day operations of their depot, and have all worked with the company for many years. Buslink have a policy of promoting within, and as such all of the current Managers started with Buslink as drivers. This enables Buslink to ensure that the Management team all have the experience and knowledge to deliver the best service possible to its clients.

Buslink has been in operation in the Northern Territory since 1988 and has grown to become the major private contractor for public transport in the Northern Territory. In the Northern Territory we employ around 190 staff and operate 140+ vehicles to provide services to the Urban (Public Bus), School Bus, Special Needs and Charter networks.

Buslink is very active in the local market, sourcing business opportunities and finding solutions to transport requirements at a competitive cost to the client. Buslink relishes all new transport opportunities.

Servicing the Territory

In 2002 the Buslink entered the Airport Shuttle Bus market in Alice Springs by acquiring Alice Springs Airport Shuttle, to complement the already existing bus services Buslink operate in Alice Springs.

Alice Springs Airport Shuttle has contracts with Alice Springs Airport, Qantas, various travel agents, and Great Southern Rail to provide door to door Shuttle Bus services for the Airport and the Ghan Railway Service.

The company’s personnel and equipment resources are extensive. Staff are well trained and multi-skilled. Senior Management have collectively over 100 years experience operating buses in the Northern Territory.
