History
editRussell Mee commenced a bodybuilding business in 1941, initially trading under the Mee's Bodyworks banner and later as Melba Busworks. The company built bodies for many operators, including the Australian Army.[2][3][4][5]
In 1965, a route from Canterbury to Box Hill South was purchased from L Drumgold, but it ceased operations in 1967. In June 1972, Mee's began operating routes around Warrandyte, which were sold in 1973 to Hurstbridge Bus & Taxi Service.[6][7]
The company now operates an extensive school run and charter business, as well as a coach service from Melbourne to Mansfield under a contract with V/Line service.[8]
