We keep Cairns/Gimuy moving.

Kinetic is the trusted transport partner of the Queensland Government, proudly operating regional bus routes across the Cairns region.

Our services connect people from Palm Cove to Gordonvale with central Cairns, universities and key shopping centres.

Kinetic launched tropical North Queensland's first zero-emission bus depot in Cairns, with five battery electric buses now in operation. It's also a first for Australia!

We're proud to partner with a number of community organisations, and have launched our own Moving the Mob first nations driver trainee program.

Our team of dedicated Network Officers are active in the community and local schools, keeping Cairns moving with a friendly face.
