Buslink VIVO (VIVO stands for "Vehicle In Vehicle Out")[1][2] was a bus operator providing services in Howard Springs. It was a 50/50 joint venture between Buslink and Transdev Australasia.
In November 2012, Buslink Vivo was awarded a 56-month contract to operate vehicles to transport workers during the construction of the Ichthys LNG project in the Northern Territory of Australia.[3][4][5]
Buslink Vivo ceased operation in July 2019.[6] During its operation, Buslink Vivo delivered more than 15 million journeys.[7]
Buslink Vivo operated employee services from Darwin and Palmerston to the Bladin Point construction site.[8]
The fleet peaked at 212 buses, primarily Irizar and Volgren bodied Mercedes-Benz OH1830s.[9] With the completion of the project, by October 2018 the fleet was down to 92 and down to 25 by August 2019.[10]
