Big Bus rebrands Sydney Explorer tour as its own

PICTURE: SCOTT MITCHELL

The Sydney Explorer and Bondi& Bay Explorer tours in the Australian city have been rebranded as Big Bus, which took over the former City Sightseeing operations last year.

Operated by the Urban (later State) Transit Authority from 1980, City Sightseeing took over the tours in 2010. It reverted to trading as Sydney Explorer in 2012 and has now become a Big Bus affiliate. Front line vehicles are 12 Chinese-built Anhui Ankai tri-axle 80- seat double-deckers.
