McVicar's Bus Services

[4] By 1927 McVicar was operating from Bankstown to the Milperra Soldiers' Settlement as well as Picnic Point, East Hills and Panania.

There were relatively few cars on the roads and bus patronage was high, with timetables drawn up in a way to attract customers rather than economic necessity.

However, with rising costs from big wage claims and declining patronage to greatly increased car usage, the company this time suffered difficulties though this was partly offset by revenue generated from the school bus services.

Mavis had joined the office side of the operation in 1931 after leaving school taking over from Mrs McVicar Snr.

[6] The company was split three ways on 25 March 1978: Through a series of acquisitions these routes are now all operated by Transdev NSW in a modified form.

A variation of this livery was adopted by Bankstown-Strathfield Bus Service and remained in use until the operation was sold to Transit First in May 2003.
