Prior's Bus Service is an Australian bus company operating bus services in Batemans Bay on the New South Wales South Coast.
History
In 1944, George Prior commenced operating services in Batemans Bay with a 1936 Ford sedan. In 1946, Prior purchased his first bus, and in 1948 successfully tendered to provide services to Moruya Central School which also included a mail and freight run on the return journey."The Buses of Batemans Bay" Fleetline issue 203 June 1992 pages 103-109
George Prior died in 1951 and Ron, along with his sister, inherited the business. Ron later bought his sister out. Gradually other operators were bought out. With the opening of Batemans Bay High School in April 1988, operations were refocussed. By 1992 the fleet had grown to 22 vehicles.
In October 1995, Prior's commenced operating a service via the Kangaroo Valley and Liverpool to Parramatta."Timetable & Service Changes" Fleetline issue 240 January 1996 page 26[https://web.archive.org/web/20150712221012/http://www.priorsbus.com.au/files/scenic-express-tt.pdf Scenic Express] Prior's Bus Service June 2013 This service ceased as from 23 June 2015.[https://web.archive.org/web/20150712220544/http://www.priorsbus.com.au/news.html Scenic Express ceased from 23 July 2015] Priors Scenic Express 23 July 2015
