CDC NSW is launching a new bus to help celebrate Indigenous Australian culture and drive recruitment
Operator CDC New South Wales has officially launched its Yaama bus to celebrate the Australian Indigenous culture and drive recruitment.
Over the past 10 months, more than 14 CDC engineers and mechanics have worked to refurbish and give the bus a new life.
The name of the bus originates from the Gamilaraay people and means ‘Hello’.
‘We are incredibly proud of this bus and thank the team who have dedicated their time, talent and hard work to creating it. This special bus reflects the CDC NSW Family now and into the future,” CDC NSW CEO Edward Thomas says.
The Yaama bus is a fully equipped 12.5-metre bus transformed by the CDC NSW Panel Shop into a Mobile Education Centre and Mobile Operations Centre.

The bus originally operated on CDC NSW routes in Dural. It has now been fitted with a kitchen, awnings, Wi-Fi connection, a meeting or classroom space, three interactive screens and its own power generator.
The bus will be used to support CDC NSW in promoting its recruitment activities as well as engaging Indigenous communities as part of CDC NSWs Reconciliation Action Plan across its 16 depots in metropolitan Sydney as well as in the Hunter Valley and Blue Mountains.
This project was supported by local providers including Suncamper Motorhomes and Moove Media.
