Ryan Brothers Bus Service (often styled as Ryan's or Ryans) is a bus operator in Melbourne, Australia. Until 1 July 2025, it operated three routes under contract to Public Transport Victoria (PTV).
History
Ryan Brothers Bus Services was formed in 1947 when PJ Callaghan Motor Service was purchased with route 467. In January 1970 the business of G&E Hills was purchased, with route 465.[1][2]
As of 2023 the company operated three bus routes for PTV. The 465 route ran between Essendon station and Keilor Park via Buckley Street and Milleara Road. The 467 route ran between Moonee Ponds station and Aberfeldie. And the 468 route connected Essendon station with Highpoint Shopping Centre via Maribyrnong Road.[3]
All Ryans PTV route services were transferred to CDC Melbourne effective 1 July 2025.[4] As CDC was impacted by driver industrial action on the first day operating the former Ryans routes, CDC operations did not commence until the following day, 2 July 2025.[5]
Fleet
As at July 2022, the fleet consisted of 29 buses and coaches.[6] The fleet livery is light blue with white signwriting.
