History
editIn 1998, the Pulitano Group purchased Westside Bus Company from the Doyle family.[1] In January 2000 the Heritage City Sunbus business was purchased from Harry Blundred and in 2002 the Ipswich-based school services of Stagecoach.[2] Westside has been part of the Bus Queensland group since at least 2010.[3] As at February 2019 routes are operated under the Bus Queensland name.
As of September 2021, the fleet consisted of 104 buses.[4]
