Local and tourist services across the island, including Breezer routes
Visit PageGoBus South Coast has grown rapidly since its early beginnings as Solent Transport Solutions. Founded in September 2024 on the Isle of Wight, STS was committed to offering a modern, reliable alternative for bus travel across the island.
In December 2024, STS was acquired by GoBus, marking the beginning of a new chapter. Just a month later, in January 2025, STS officially rebranded to GoBus Solent, bringing it into line with GoBus’ modern branding and service values.
Expansion soon followed. In February 2025, GoBus Southampton Reds was launched to provide focused, frequent services across the city of Southampton. This inner-city operation quickly gained recognition for its punctuality and innovation.
In April 2025, GoBus acquired Bournemouth’s Bus Company, a well-established provider on the mainland. This added significant reach and capacity to the group, as well as an experienced local team.
In May 2025, all operations were united under one regional identity: GoBus South Coast. This included the rebranding of all three companies into GoBus Bournemouth, GoBus Southampton Reds, and GoBus Isle of Wight — with a strong, modern, and environmentally focused vision to connect the south coast like never before.
