Algoa Bus

Road transportation of people and communities has and always will be an integral part of any country's working and social life. As is the case with other global communities, the South African experience has been no different. From the onset the Tram cars in the early mining days of our country to the luxury buses in use today, the mobility of people remains the core ingredient for any dynamic society. The Company was established in 1879. Today the company employs more than 700 people, of which 89% are from previously disadvantaged groups, with approximately 430 buses to serve the communities of Port Elizabeth, Despatch and Uitenhage. The Company operates as a Section 21 company, meaning any profit that may be made is invested back into the Company, its employees and therefore indirectly the community.
