DRL Coachlines

DRL Coachlines is a motor coach bus company operating in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

DRL subsequently expanded its charter services into neighbouring Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

It also received a license to operate an inter-city bus route from Halifax to Yarmouth via Bridgewater on the South Shore, and was a contract school bus operator for the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board.

[1] Problems arose in the mid-2000s when the company lost its operating licenses for intercity, charter and school buses in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick after government transport regulators were informed of safety problems and maintenance issues resulting from DRL Coachlines service, in addition to tax problems that the company was facing.

[2][3] DRL Coachlines has also faced several complaints about its inter-city bus services in Newfoundland and Labrador, where it has a monopoly.
