Mee's Bus Lines is a bus and coach operator in Melbourne, Australia.

History

Russell Mee commenced a bodybuilding business in 1941, initially trading under the Mee's Bodyworks banner and later as Melba Busworks. The company built bodies for many operators, including the Australian Army.[2][3][4][5]

In 1965, a route from Canterbury to Box Hill South was purchased from L Drumgold, but it ceased operations in 1967. In June 1972, Mee's began operating routes around Warrandyte, which were sold in 1973 to Hurstbridge Bus & Taxi Service.[6][7]

The company now operates an extensive school run and charter business, as well as a coach service from Melbourne to Mansfield under a contract with V/Line service.[8]

Fleet

As at December 2023, the fleet consists of 120

buses and coaches.[1] The fleet livery is cream, brown and orange.
