ManaBus.com is an intercity coach service operator in New Zealand. The company is owned by Brian Souter's InMotion Group.

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.

Advertised fares start at $1 (plus $1.99 booking fee), using a yield management model as employed by sister companies Megabus, OnniBus and PolskiBus. ManaBus.com operates 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, similar to how airlines operate. Founder Brian Souter believes that bus journeys of up to six hours can compete with air travel.

ManaBus.com operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across the North Island of New Zealand. Key routes include:

ManaBus.com operates a Sleeper Bus service travelling daily between Auckland and Wellington (and Wellington to Auckland). These purpose built buses are made up of a mix of top bunks, which are a hammock and bottom bunks, which are two single berths, which two people share. A privacy screen makes the bottom bunk more comfortable. The Sleeper Bus also has seats available separately.

ManaBus.com operates a fleet of Kiwi Bus Builders bodied Volvo B11Rs.

The buses are outfitted with leather reclining seats (or beds in the Sleeper Bus), air conditioning, toilet, seatbelts and free Wi-Fi.
