OzBus was a London-based tour company that pioneered overground bus services, notably operating a historic route between London and Sydney. In addition to this iconic journey, OzBus introduced innovative overland adventure trips, such as the London to New York route and a recreation of the famed 1960s Hippie Trail.
History: Founded in 2006 by entrepreneur Mark Creasey, OzBus capitalized on the relaxation of border restrictions, enabling unprecedented overland travel between the United Kingdom and Australia. The distinctive nature of OzBus trips garnered widespread attention, with extensive coverage on global television, radio, and print media. Initially targeting a demographic of 18- to 30-year-olds, OzBus quickly found appeal across all age groups, with participants ranging from young adults to a traveler in her late seventies.
Route: The original London to Sydney route spanned 20 countries over a 12-week period, later extended to 13 weeks. The itinerary included the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Tibet, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Timor, and finally, Australia. The flexibility of the route allowed adjustments to accommodate unforeseen political, religious, and physical challenges.
OzBus 2009 to 2012: In 2009, Mark Creasey divested OzBus, and the company came under the management of an Australian bus company until its closure in 2012. Post-OzBus, various overland travel companies have attempted to replicate its service. However, geopolitical instability in the Middle East has posed challenges, rendering such journeys impractical.
