As of 2022, Sunbus changed its name as part of a business re-brand by the parent company, Kinetic.

[1] In 1995, Harry Blundred, the proprietor of Thames Transit in the United Kingdom, was awarded the operating rights to route services in the Sunshine Coast region, taking over the services around Caloundra and Maroochydore that had been provided by Sunshine Coast Coaches.

All new buses will display the Kinetic logo with the current fleet of Sunbus slowly being updated to reflect the new brand name.

Sunbus operated 27 services under contract to the Government of Queensland under the Translink banner.
