History

The origin of McHarry's Buslines dates back to 1932, when John McHarry was working at Fords Geelong Plant. He transported his own employees to the plant in his work truck, and it wasn't very long before he was inundated with requests from the Ford workforce for a ride to work.

From there, the McHarry's company grew dramatically, and in 2011, it now owns 170 buses. See more
