Murton's City Bus - Broken Hill

This is a historic listing of vehicles owned and operated by Murton's City Bus - Broken Hill.

Murtons was established as a syndicate of private bus operators in 1935 and named after Murton Street in Broken Hill. The operation was incorporated as a private company in 1945. In January 1973, the operation diversified into interstate coach services with the purchase of the Broken Hill to Adelaide run from Ansett Pioneer. Up until 1985, the company was owned by a number of private shareholders, who all worked in the business and participated in the management of the business.

On 5 September 1985, the business was sold to Adelaide-based coach company Briscoes. At the time Briscoes was developing a national express coach service and its interest in acquiring Murtons was primarily to gain control of the Broken Hill to Adelaide service. In February 1986, Briscoes was acquired by Bus Australia who had no interest in the Broken Hill business and in December 1987 sold its interest to the other Murtons shareholders John Hillier, Brian Coucill and Tim Williams. In July 1997, the business was rebranded as Murton’s City Bus.

In 2004, Hillier retired selling his shares to Coucill and Williams. In July 2013, Murton's City Bus purchased a shareholding in Adelaide operator Buses-R-Us who operated a thrice weekly service between Adelaide and Broken Hill until June 2019.

In February 2017, the business was sold to Buslink and rebranded Buslink Broken Hill. It was included in the purchase of Buslink by ComfortDelGro Australia in November 2018. The operation was rebranded CDC Broken Hill effective 1 March 2020.
