Driver Bus Lines dates back to 1931, when Eric and Reg Driver built their first bus, a 7 seat Pontiac. Together, they began operating a transit route service from Glen Iris Station to Camberwell, working day and night to make their company a success. In the late 60's Eric's two sons, Daryl and Gary, joined Driver Bus Lines and continued to build the company into an organisation providing transport and tourism operations in most major cities throughout Australia.

Driver Group today operates route services in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, charter originating in Melbourne and operating to destinations around the country, Great Sights day tours in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide and Gray Line day tours in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Cairns, Adelaide, Darwin, Alice Springs and Tasmania
