We are using a bleach-based cleaning agent recommended by authorities, as it eliminates 99.9% of potential residual COVID-19 that can be left behind on surfaces and equipment.

Enhanced pre- and post-service cleaning procedures are in place, which are comprehensive of potential touch points for both drivers and passengers.

All onboard air conditioning filtration units are sanitised at the commencement of each service, and have been fitted with ozone air purifiers.

Yes.

Free hand sanitising stations are available on all services. We encourage passengers to bring a personal supply as well.

If you recognise that you are sick on the day of your travel, please do not board the coach. 

Call or email our customer service team and we will arrange to honour your ticket on a future service when you are well.

People showing signs of illness will not be allowed onboard. Sick passengers will have their ticket honoured at a later date.

Ozone air purifiers are commonly used as room disinfectants and work by creating ozone, a naturally-occurring gas, from oxygen atoms in normal air.

This ozone gas has been proven to destroy the SARS coronavirus by more than 17 scientific studies. Since the structure of the novel coronavirus (2019-ncov) is almost identical to that of the SARS coronavirus, it is relatively safe to say that these purifiers will also work to kill novel coronavirus. A study into its efficacy is currently being undertaken at the Institute of Virology in Hubei, China with results soon to come. 

All passengers are required to load and unload their own baggage.

If you have a physical condition that prevents you from loading your bags, please notify the driver and they will load your bags for you once all other passengers have boarded. The driver will sanitise their hands before and after loading baggage in any such situation.

It is mandatory for passengers travelling to/from Melbourne to wear face masks, as per government requirements.

The wearing of face masks is not mandatory in other areas.

However, World Health Organization and Federal Government advice recommends that wearing a mask can help protect you and those around you if you are in an area with community transmission, and physical distancing is not possible. Learn more here.

Face masks are available for purchase at the time of booking your ticket. Please note these masks are one-time use only and should not be used beyond your journey.

We will not allow travel for passengers showing any signs of illness. Sick passengers will have their ticket honoured at a later date.

Yes.

Customers can download and use the COVIDSafe app during their journeys to help with contact tracing. Free on board USB chargers will allow you to keep your devices fully charged.

No.

If you recognise that you are sick on the day of your travel, please do not board the coach. Call or email our customer service team and they will organise to honour your ticket on a future service once you are well.

People showing signs of illness will not be allowed onboard. Sick passengers will have their ticket honoured at a later date.

We are not limiting the amount of passengers onboard, in line with public transport and airlines, so it depends on the number of passengers. Our seat allocation system automatically maximises available space where possible. 

You can use our seat selection function to choose a seat at a comfortable distance from fellow passengers, where possible.

You can also purchase a face mask at the time of booking to help protect yourself and others around you. Please note these face masks are single-use only and should not be used beyond your journey.

Passengers with signs of illness will not be permitted entry onboard, and will be able to reschedule their ticket for a future travel date.

The Australian Government has implemented enforced quarantine for 14 days for those entering after midnight on 28 March 2020.

If you need to travel to your location for isolation (for example, from the airport) you are advised to use a personal mode of transport, such as a car. If you need to use public transport, including a Greyhound service, follow the precautions outlined in this public transport guide.

If you have completed your 14-day period of self-isolation without developing symptoms, you can return to your daily activities (including travelling with Greyhound).

If you have been in close contact with a person who has tested positive to COVID-19, you must self-isolate for a period of 14 days.
