Additional school bus services bolster Western Australia operations

• Growth continues for Kinetic in WA with an additional government bus contract catering to schools in Gidgegannup north-east of Perth
• It follows Kinetic’s recent success in being awarded two new contracted school services commencing in 2025 
• Kinetic now delivers 10 government bus contracts supporting schools in Perth and surrounds 

Kinetic has resumed the school term in Western Australia delivering an additional government bus contract servicing schools in Gidgegannup north-east of Perth. 

As part of continued investment in its growing platform on the west coast, Kinetic acquired the contract to operate the school bus services from Greg and Tracy Bear and added an additional vehicle to its fleet.

Kinetic’s Executive General Manager Western Australia, Sarah Ismail, said Greg and Tracy had done an amazing job servicing these communities for the past 17 years and the team would build on their legacy. 

The announcement follows recent success winning a competitive tender for two contracted school bus services commencing in 2025, as Kinetic continues to build its reputation for service excellence and reliability in Western Australia. 

These new services will support students from five schools in Midland and Kensington including those with special needs with three new accessible buses added to Kinetic’s local fleet.  

Ms Ismail said Kinetic had a long-term commitment to supporting WA communities and with exciting growth prospects heading into 2025. 

“We are committed to ongoing investment in the local market and with new fleet coming online we will further build our charter platform servicing schools, tourism, events and other industries,” she said. 

“We intend to continue expanding our partnerships delivering high quality bus services for our community, clients and government with a clear value proposition and passion for what we do.”  

The delivery of school services to Gidgegannup expands Kinetic’s partnership with the Public Transport Authority (PTA) of Western Australia. The company now delivers 10 contracted bus services across the greater Perth region from its depot in High Wycombe. 

Ms Ismail said growth of Kinetic’s local network was also creating career opportunities for women in the transport industry. 

“One of the first local graduates of our Women Up Front trainee bus driver program is taking the wheel of the Gidgegannup service,” she said. 

“The Women Up Front program has already upskilled 220 women around Australia this year and with our first three graduates here in Perth we now have more qualified team members and a diverse workforce ready to support our growth into the new year.”

Kinetic is Australasia’s leading bus operator with long-term commitments supporting communities across Australia in partnership with the Queensland, New South Wales, Victorian and Tasmanian governments. 

Its operations in Melbourne are also expanding with Kinetic recently announced as a Franchisee to operate one of Melbourne new metro bus regions which will see the introduction of more zero-emission buses.
