3 Our eyes are on the road so their minds are on the job keeping what s important in perspective Safety comes first, second and third Coach or bus travel is always a safer option than staff taking to the roads by themselves. Far too often we see workers tired after a long shift, travelling at night on remote roads. A fresh and rested worker is always a safer worker. Greyhound s fleet of modern buses is subject to stringent monitoring and our world-class driver training leaves no-one in any doubt. We care about your workers as much as you do. All of our safety standards are nationally compliant and our nationally-accredited maintenance program (Pronto Xi) meets or exceeds the highest fleet standards of all state governments. In addition, we are ready to adapt our vehicles and train our drivers to meet your site risk-management requirements.

From employee relations, HSE and ICT to fleet management, operations and contract management, we are in constant communication with customers to ensure the highest service standards. Real-time vehicle monitoring and tracking Tracking has always been a life-saver in remote locations. Our In Vehicle Monitoring System (IVMS) allows real-time tracking of all vehicles and monitoring of coach mechanical conditions. Vehicle location and GPS positioning let us know exactly where your staff are at all times. Driver hours and driver behaviour, including speed and braking activity, are tracked in real time to support fatigue management and safe driving practices. All the coaches vital signs including oil levels, engine temperatures, engine revs and electricals are monitored too, which alerts us to issues and provides our mechanical engineers with diagnostics during servicing. This constant monitoring reduces the possibility of unexpected breakdowns and protects your schedules. Our advanced monitoring and diagnostics are backed by a 24/7 nationwide maintenance and repair network plus additional support vehicles equipped with spare parts and driven by qualified mechanics. Vehicles designed for the job Our coaches and mini-buses are not only designed for Australia s tough conditions, they re adaptable to your needs. We can custom-fit our vehicles to provide greater seating space or security extras. And while we re at it, we can change the look of the bus to match your company s branding. Greyhound offers the option of WiFi on our fleet. Internet access can turn bus travel into productive time or provide your workforce with a way to stay in touch with their loved ones back home.
