From a single coastal route to a four-brand regional group — how CCTG grew, and what it stands for.
CCTG begins operating one route linking two coastal towns with a handful of secondhand buses.
Urban services expand into a full town network, and the Metro brand and coral livery are introduced.
Regional express routes connect the wider Coral Coast, bringing the sea glass-liveried Coastliner brand online.
The group takes on private charter work and local school contracts, rounding the fleet out to four brands.
CCTG now runs a full multi-brand network from Reefton, Marina Point and Tidewater depots.
Service you can set your watch to — that's the whole job.
Timetables are a promise. Every brand is built around running the service that's printed.
Four brands, one Coral Card — services are designed to connect, not compete.
Routes, depots and school runs are planned around how the Coral Coast actually moves.
