Badder Bus Service is a charter bus company that started out in 1950 in Thamesville, ON as a school bus company. In 1978, due to the demand for charter service, they decided to acquire highway coaches and expand that side of the business.

In 2006 the company was split, with Badder Bus Service Limited becoming a charter oriented company, with the integration of the newly acquired coach operations of Gino's Bus Lines of Ingersoll, and The Badder Group Incorporated being created out of their school bus operations which had expanded with the addition of Waylin Bus Lines of Aylmer in 1995 and Elgin Bus Service in 1997.

The school bus division serves the Thames Valley District School Board, London District Catholic School Board, Lambton Kent District School Board, St. Clair Catholic District School Board, and Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest.

History

• Badder purchased Wills Bus Lines highway buses division in February 2014.
• Badder purchased Cherrey Bus Lines in September 2018.
• School bus operations sold to First Student Canada on October 12, 2022.
