About Adams Luxliner

Our History



The business was started in 1976 by James Alfred Adams and his wife Cornelia with their five sons as a family business offering transportation services to their local community in Ravensmead and surrounding areas, after identifying a gap in the market as a public transport service provider.

James managed the business until 1989 when his son Donovan took over and named it Adams Taxis.
Over time the focus of the business shifted from taxis to mainline bus services and was named Adams Luxliner from which it grew till where it stands today.

Now more than 35 years later from when James Alfred Adams took a leap of faith on his dream, the business still stands strong and continues to operate as a family business run by his sons and grandsons.
