During the late 1960s route 189 was extended from Punchbowl to Roselands, Riverwood and Lugarno replacing route 140, which initially operated between Riverwood and Lugarno. In 1992, route 26 was replaced by an extension of route 188 from Punchbowl to Bankstown, and route 36 was amended to travel along the route of 26 at the Punchbowl end. In 1989, route 108 (operated by Saints

In April 1998 Punchbowl Bus Co purchased route 450 (Hurstville to Strathfield) and route 451 (Roselands to Campsie)from Canterbury Bus Lines.
