In August 2002 the Southern Cross Transit was purchased by the family of the late John Oliveri, who has operated buses in Campbelltown and Liverpool, NSW, south west of Sydney, for over 54 years.

 

Frank Oliveri, Director of Operations, for the group moved to Queensland and is running the business from the depot at Karalee.

 

Wally Horwood founded Southern Cross Transit in 1980 when he moved his whole family and all their possessions from New South Wales in an old bus he purchased with his life savings to Brisbane's Western suburbs. After emptying the bus of all their possesions (including the kitchen sink!), he virtually immediately commenced operating the bus on school and charter services.
