Hunter Valley Buses is a bus operator who operates bus, coach and charter services in the Central Coast and Hunter regions of New South Wales. Previously known as Blue Ribbon, it was one of the first companies to be bought by ComfortDelGro Cabcharge in 2005.

CDC Charter is CDC's bus charter division for its Sydney and Blue Mountains operations.[15] Initially established as Charterplus in 2008 to centralise the charter operations between the Hillsbus depots, this was expanded to the Westbus depots in 2009.[16] It organises charters for the CDC group, CDC rail bus workings, as well as CDC's special event commitments. Charterplus was renamed CDC Travel in November 2018. Originally based at Bonnyrigg, all Sydney CDC Charter vehicles are now based at the St Marys depot with some vehicles based in the Blue Mountains. In early 2023, CDC Travel was renamed CDC Charter.

As of September 2023, CDC Charter operates 63 buses transferred from both the New South Wales and Victorian operations.[13]

Blue Mountains Transit Volgren bodied Volvo B7RLE at Scenic World in June 2021

In August 2014, CDC purchased Blue Mountains Bus Company with 101 buses.[17][18] It operated depots in Emu Plains, Leura and Valley Heights.[19] Founded in 1951 as Pearce Omnibus, it operated services in the lower Blue Mountains. In 1999, it expanded with the purchase of Katoomba-Leura Bus Service, followed in 2002 by Blue Mountains Bus Co. On 1 December 2014, CDC formally took over the operations of Blue Mountains Bus Company and rebranded it as Blue Mountains Transit.

Blue Mountains Transit now operates 73 buses as of September 2023, across the same 3 depots, which includes the recent additions of 14 ex-StationLink buses in July 2019.[20]

Qcity Transit ABM bodied Irisbus Agoraline in February 2021

In September 2012, CDC purchased Deane's Transit Group which comprised Deane's Buslines which operates local services in Queanbeyan and into Canberra, and Transborder Express which runs services between Yass, Murrumbateman, Hall and Canberra. Both brands also operate school services within their service region. On 8 July 2013, Deane's Buslines was rebranded as Qcity Transit.

In January 2023, Qcity Transit and Transborder Express were rebranded as CDC Canberra.[21]

As of September 2023, the CDC Canberra fleet consists of 155 buses.[22]

Forest Coach Lines is a bus and coach operator which operates in the Mid North Coast, and North West Slopes regions in New South Wales. Until 2023, Forest Coach Lines also operated buses in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney in Sydney Bus Region 14, with the branding phased out and replaced by the CDC NSW brand.[10][11] Forest Coach Lines was acquired by ComfortDelGro in August 2018.[23][24]

In October 2021, CDC merged its newly acquired school bus business from KA & VK Stubbs Pty Ltd into its Forest Coach Lines business in Narrabri and Wee Waa.[25]

Blanch's Bus Company, established in 1976, operates scheduled route and school bus services in the Ballina, Lennox Head, Byron Bay and Mullumbimby areas of Northern NSW out of depots in Ballina and Billinudgel.

Westbus Volgren bodied Volvo B7RLE at Sydney Olympic Park in March 2013

Westbus was a bus operator who operated bus services in Western Sydney. It was one of the first companies to be bought by ComfortDelGro Cabcharge in 2005. Until its cessation, Westbus' services were part of Sydney Bus Regions 1 and 3.[28][29] In 2012, these regions were put out to tender by Transport for NSW. Westbus' bids to retain both regions were not successful, with the Region 1 services operating out of St Marys and Windsor passing to Busways, while the Region 3 services operated by Bonnyrigg and Girraween passing to Transit Systems Sydney, both in October 2013.[30][31][32] As a result, Westbus ceased to operate routes, with remaining bus fleet transferred to other ComfortDelGro Cabcharge subsidiaries.

It was one of the first companies to be bought by ComfortDelGro Cabcharge in 2005.[33] In August 2013, Hillsbus successfully tendered to operate the Region 4 services for another five years from August 2014.[34][35] The Hillsbus brand was phased out and replaced by the CDC NSW brand in 2023.
