About Sunshine Coast Bus Lines
Sunshine Coast Bus Lines (SCBL) has been moving groups around South-East Queensland since 1964 — making us one of the longest-running Sunshine Coast travel specialists. Operating from our depot at Page St, Kunda Park, we run a Sunshine Coast bus and coach hire fleet from 3-seater VIP Mercedes sedans through to 80-seater charter coaches.
Locally based, we know the routes, the venues, and the logistics across the Sunshine Coast region — from Brisbane Airport (BNE) to Sunshine Coast transfers, Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY) pickups, wedding shuttles in the hinterland, school excursion buses, mining crew rotations, and interstate coach charters.

Airport & Cruise Transfers
Brisbane Airport to Sunshine Coast charters and Brisbane Cruise Terminal group transfers — the two routes where rideshare doesn't cut it for a group with luggage.
Brisbane Airport (BNE) & MCY Transfers
Brisbane Airport to Sunshine Coast is one of our most common routes — 1 hour 20 minutes via the Bruce Highway. We meet international and domestic arrivals at the terminal, handle multi-flight coordination, and run direct group transfers to Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Noosa, and hinterland venues. Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY) pickups at Marcoola for regional and trans-Tasman flights.
For scheduled public transport options, see Translink's Sunshine Coast travel page.
Brisbane Cruise Terminal Transfers
The Brisbane International Cruise Terminal at Pinkenba is the launch point for most Queensland cruise itineraries. SCBL runs scheduled cruise transfers from the Sunshine Coast region to Brisbane Cruise Terminal and back — timed to ship boarding cut-offs with luggage handling included. Pre-cruise pickups, post-cruise returns with customs-clearance wait time, and hotel split-trips all available.

Why Choose Sunshine Coast Bus Lines
60+ years of group transport experience, on your doorstep
We're not a Brisbane or Gold Coast operator running occasional jobs up to the Coast. Sunshine Coast Bus Lines (SCBL) is based right here in Kunda Park — our drivers know the back routes, the school-zone timing, the venues along Hastings Street, and how Mary Street fills up on a Friday afternoon. That local knowledge means your group arrives on time, every time.
A charter bus and coach fleet for every group size
From 3-seater VIP sedans through to 80-seater coaches with onboard restrooms, reclining seats, and disability access — our Sunshine Coast charter fleet is built to match your group, not the other way around.
Accredited, insured, and locally based
QLD Vehicle Operator Accreditation Q900486602 issued by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. All drivers carry current Working with Children Check (Blue Card) and Queensland Driver Authorisation. Fully insured for group passenger transport.
