Everyone right to go?
As we all know – It’s been a tough couple of years for us in Victoria! In & out of Lockdown, restricted trading for businesses, no group gatherings, and no travelling!
But that has all now changed!! To keep the booking process of booking our Bus Hire & Charter & Bus Tour services ‘ezi’; We won’t bore you with all the minor details, but in order for us to operate, and for you to be able to travel with us, there is a few things that you need to know about the COVIDSafe requirements and rules as at & post 6.00pm Friday 29th October 2021.
Personal Details
Although Bus Operators are exempt from requiring a QR Code system. We are still required to collect personal details of ALL and any passengers that travel with us for the sole purposes of contract tracing.
Where a QR Code is provided, all passengers will be required to Check-In when boarding and demonstrate to the driver that they have successfully Checked In.
If for some reason the bus you will be travelling on does not have a QR Code, we will make contact to ask that the booking customer collate the information of passengers and email this to us 48 hours prior to departure where we will transfer that data into our secure booking system. Additionally if any passenger has trouble the QR Code system the driver will need to manually collect their details when boarding.
The information we will require from each passenger prior to departure is; [ First Name – Last Name – Mobile Ph # – Email Address ]
Masks & Face Coverings
Due to the density of travelling in a bus and the inability to be able to maintain social distancing, by law a face mask must be worn in vehicles at all times by all passengers (unless there is a lawful reason not to wear one). It is also due to this reason that we are not able to currently permit the consumption of Food or Drink on our vehicles until the health advice changes.
Vaccination Mandate
Just like many industries a Vaccination Requirement has been imposed on our services. As our services are classified as “Tour & Charter” by the regulator being Bus Safety Victoria (a division of Transport Safety Victoria), and not an essential transport service (such as Public Transport); Passengers are required to be FULLY vaccinated against Covid-19 to travel on-board. Proof of vaccination must be shown to the driver upon boarding until such time that the health advice changes.
Passenger Limits
As at 6.00pm Friday 29th October 2021, we are permitted to operate our services throughout any part of the state in Victoria and currently no maximum group capacity limits are in place as these limits are now the standard passenger capacity limits applicable to each vehicle. The square metre density limit does not apply in vehicles, including buses, however we encourage passengers to practice social distancing wherever possible and consider a plan for future possibilities that the health advice could change if there is any Covid-19 outbreaks within the state.
Stay Home – Stay Safe
If anyone due to travel is feeling unwell or showing any symptoms of Covid-19, we ask that they simply DO NOT TRAVEL and instead Stay Home, Get Tested for Covid-19, and keep everyone Safe!

Continuing Commitment
Behind the scenes there is a lot of other implementations that we have made to reduce the spread of coronavirus within our business to keep our staff, valued passengers, and communities safe!
Some of these things include;
– All our staff have been trained on the new COVIDSafe practices and procedures at eziBus Charters
– Each vehicle gets thoroughly cleaned and sanitised in-between passenger groups and where possible is aired out
– Our COVIDSafe Plan will be required to submitted to Transport Safety Victoria for auditing purposes
– There will be ongoing random business spot checks for COVIDSafe Plans conducted by Compliance Officers and other authorised agents
– Our COVIDSafe Plan will be reviewed and updated routinely, including when restrictions or public health advice changes to ensure it is up-to-date with the most recent advice
We have a selected range of vehicle classes to choose from and you can hire our services for any occasion….. Wherever you want or need to go….
