History
ManaBus.com commenced operating express coach services on the North Island of New Zealand on 21 November 2014. In May 2015 it took over Nakedbus.
Corporate strategy
Advertised fares start at $1 (plus $1 booking fee), using a yield management model as employed by sister companies Megabus, OnniBus and PolskiBus. ManaBus.com intends to operate at a high load factor using yield management pricing and large double decker buses to keep capital cost per seat and fuel burn per seat at low levels. Founder Brian Souter believes that bus journeys of up to six hours can compete with air travel.
