The Bus Insider September 2026 Issue

We’re back with the September issue of The Bus Insider — capturing an industry that is thinking bigger, investing harder, and entering a new phase of growth.

Our cover story features Synaty Automotive and its landmark 100-bus order from Okara Express, exploring what it takes to move from manufacturing individual buses to delivering at fleet scale, with consistency, quality and discipline.

We also bring you some of the industry’s leading operators. VRL shares the thinking behind its 150-coach Volvo investment, while Siddaganga Travels looks at its next phase of growth through technology, automation and operational discipline.

Electric mobility remains a key theme, with KPN Travels sharing lessons from its real-world electric operations and Fresh Bus taking electric intercity travel beyond 600 km.

And as the industry grows, safety remains central — examining how technology, engineering and operational discipline must keep pace with rising ambition.
