ComfortDelGro to acquire GoBus operator for $17.52m

The acquisition will make the company the third largest inter-city coach operator in Ireland.

ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited will acquire Evobus and Coach Limited, the Irish operator of the GoBus coach service, for $17.52m (€12m).

As of 12 July, ComfortDelGro has already paid $6.424 m (€4.4m) of the $17.52m (€12m), whilst the €7.5 million ($10.95m) will be paid after the acquisition of GoBus’ fleet of 31 buses.

The fleet traverses three inter-city routers: the Galway-Dublin Express, the Cork-Dublin Express and the Galway-Ballina Express.

ComfortDelGro said it aims to fully acquire the fleet “at the end of a transitional services period of approximately one month.”

The balance of €100,000 (S$146,000), held in escrow, will be paid to Evobus upon expiry of a two-year period from 12 July, provided that there are no claims against Evobus during the said period.

Following the acquisition, ComfortDelGro will become the third largest inter-city coach operator in Ireland.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
