Organ's Bus Service Pty. Ltd.

Organ's Bus Service

Organ's Bus Service was founded in 1929 by Reg and Alma Organ. The company's first fleet consisted of GMC and REO trucks with canvas canopies. These trucks were used as people movers until the first bus was purchased, a 1945 International. This was soon followed by several OB Bedfords in the 1950s. The fleet of 6 buses serviced the local schools for many years.

From the 1960s, the company was managed by Reg and Alma's two sons, Neil and Geoff Organ and their wives, Gwen and Betty. The business experienced a rapid expansion and grew to a fleet of 51 vehicles, ranging from 12-seat mini-buses to 61-seat school buses. In 2007, Neil and Geoff made the difficult decision to sell their business and in October, Organ's Bus Service was sold and brought under the umbrella of the Donric Group.
