We started with a single bus and a simple belief — that transport should feel personal. Over a decade later, that belief still drives everything we do.
Peter started Shire Shuttle Bus with a single bus and a simple belief — that transport should feel personal. Not a transaction. Not a faceless corporation. Just a genuine human being getting you where you need to go, safely and on time, with a smile and a conversation along the way.
With wife Lucy handling every booking call and a team of local drivers who know every back street in the Shire, the business grew through word-of-mouth and genuine care. No fancy marketing campaigns — just real people telling their friends about a service that made them feel looked after.
Today they operate 9 buses and 5 luggage trailers, covering everything from early-morning airport runs to full-day wine tours through the Southern Highlands. But every client still gets Lucy's personal confirmation call the night before. That's not going to change.
The heart and soul of Shire Shuttle Bus. Peter still drives regular routes because he genuinely loves meeting passengers and sharing stories about the Shire. Started the business with a dream and a single bus.
The voice you'll hear on the phone the night before your trip. Lucy personally calls every client to confirm details — it's her way of making sure nothing falls through the cracks and you feel completely at ease.
Every driver is a Shire local who knows the area inside out. They're not just getting you from A to B — they're tour guides, luggage handlers, and friendly faces who remember your name.
From a couple heading to the airport to a 50-person wedding party — we've got the vehicle for the job.
You're not a booking number — you're a person. We learn your name, remember your preferences, and treat every trip like it matters. Because it does.
Early is on time. We build buffer into every route because we know that when you're catching a flight or a cruise, there's zero room for error. We don't cut it fine.
Our drivers know every shortcut, every construction delay, every scenic route in the Shire. That local knowledge means fewer surprises and more reliable service.
Every bus is maintained, inspected, and cleaned to the highest standard. Every driver is licensed, accredited, and vetted. Your safety is non-negotiable.
"Peter was amazing — he arrived 10 minutes early, helped with all our luggage, and even recommended a great coffee spot. This is what service should feel like."
"Lucy called us the night before to confirm everything. That personal touch made all the difference — especially since we were nervous about making our 5am flight."
"The Blue Mountains tour was the highlight of our trip. Our driver knew every lookout, every waterfall, every story. It felt like a private tour with a friend."
Whether it's your first trip or your fiftieth, we'll treat you like family.
