Davis Motor Services was purchased by Kefford Corporation in December 1981, and was later known as Davis Bus Lines.[2][3] In February 2009, the Kefford Corporation was sold to ComfortDelGro Cabcharge (CDC), with the sale including Davis Bus Lines for A$149 million.[4][5] At the time Kefford was the fourth-largest bus operator in Victoria, with a fleet of 328 buses and six depots, and with a market share of 16%. On 14 July 2014, CDC announced that Davis Bus Lines would be re-branded as CDC Ballarat.[6]
On 1 July 2022, CDC Ballarat's Regional Bus Services Contract to operate bus services was renewed for 10 years.[7] It would also be subject to new performance measures and service standards, consistent with the bus services in Melbourne.[8]
