Many different people work behind the scenes to help a company like Interstate Bus Lines (IBL) to run successfully. One of these groups of people, are our Regulators. Regulators play a critical role at IBL. In short, they:

  • Ensure that all buses operate according to the scheduled time;
  • Record bus fleet number, alternative bus or shift number, quantity of passengers and actual departure times;
  • Ensure that all defects are reported;
  • Report on incidents and complaints; and
  • Ensure that buses are parked properly at the pick-up points.

We would like to say “thank you” to all IBL Regulators for your outstanding work.

Meet our IBL Regulators:
