There’s a reason MILNE Group Travel & Tours is known as the safest name in Australian coach charter. And it’s not because of our fleet or our technology alone. It’s because we believe safety is the single most important responsibility we have.
When you’re transporting lives, whether it’s students, employees, sports teams, or tour groups, “close enough” is never good enough for us. Every trip is a promise that passengers will arrive safely, without risk, without doubt. That promise is what drives every decision we make.
So, we made a decision: MILNE would build a safety system that didn’t just meet the standard, it set the standard.
And that’s exactly what we did.
Why Safety Is More Than a Policy
For us, safety isn’t about ticking boxes or passing audits. It’s about creating certainty. Parents shouldn’t wonder where their child’s school bus is. Companies shouldn’t question if their staff will arrive on time. Travellers shouldn’t sit in the dark without answers. Close enough isn’t good enough when you’re carrying precious lives.
At MILNE Group Travel & Tours, we decided to become the company that never leaves a parent in silence. We put systems in place that eliminate blind spots. We track every move, know every stop, and see every risk before it happens.
We chose a different road, and that decision rewrote the entire future of our business.
To begin with, we installed EROAD Ehubo2, a world-class driver monitoring system, across our entire fleet. Not because it was trendy. Not because it was easy. But because it was necessary. Read more about how EROAD Ehubo2 works in our detailed blog here.
And we didn’t stop there.
At a Glance: What Sets MILNE Group Travel & Tours Apart
We didn’t just join the conversation about safety.
We rewrote the entire standard.
Here’s how we do it, every single time:
- Live GPS Tracking on Every Vehicle: We can see every single coach in real time. So can you. No excuses. No “we think they’re on the way.” We know exactly where your bus is, down to the street corner.
- Driver Behaviour Monitoring: Every one of our drivers has a safety score. Tracked on braking, cornering, speed, and more. You’re not just getting a qualified driver. You’re getting the safest driver available. Period.
- Cameras That Never Switch Off: Every vehicle is fitted with tamper-proof cameras. They protect our passengers. They protect our drivers. And they make accountability possible.
- Real-Time Support From Our Team: Our control room knows the second a bus is delayed. Whether it’s traffic, breakdown, or something else, we step in instantly. We don’t wait for things to go wrong.
- Onboard Emergency Phones and Alerts: Every MILNE vehicle has an emergency line and alert buttons. If anything happens, we’ll know about it. And we act.
- EROAD Driver App With In-Vehicle Feedback: Every driver receives alerts during the trip. Harsh cornering? Speeding? Distraction detected? They get notified immediately. And they fix it. Right then and there.
- Route Replay for Incident Investigation: If something ever does go wrong, we don’t guess. We watched the full trip. From start to finish. With data, location, and video evidence.
- Fatigue Monitoring and Break Logs: No one behind the wheel is running on low sleep. EROAD Ehubo2 tracks rest, alerts us if someone’s overworked, and ensures every driver is within legal and safe operating hours.
- Permanent Driver Safety Records: We don’t forget. Every trip is added to a driver’s record. High scores are rewarded. Low scores are corrected. No compromise.
- Painstakingly vetted drivers: Every driver is carefully vetted, tested, and trained for months before they’re even allowed near a MILNE bus, along with background checks.
We Choose a Different Road: Because Safety Isn’t a Feature. It’s the Standard.
This isn’t branding. It’s a belief. We are MILNE Group Travel & Tours.
And we are safety-obsessed. Not because it looks good on a website. But because that’s the bare minimum for us.
So when you choose us, you’re not booking a bus. You’re choosing a company that treats every passenger like its own. And backs every single trip with the most serious safety systems available in this country.
