Melbourne Bus Link was an Australian bus and coach operator in Melbourne. As a Melbourne bus company, it operated nine bus routes under contract to the Government of Victoria.
In April 1998 a consortium owned by Dyson Group and Reservoir Bus Company commenced operating a contract to operate the remaining bus services of Met Bus in the western and south-east regions of Melbourne. Included were depots at Footscray and Sandringham and 86 MAN SL200 buses.
In April 2013 Transdev Melbourne were announced as the preferred tenderer to operate the Melbourne Metropolitan Bus Franchise. The franchise included the services operated by Melbourne Bus Link. Melbourne Bus Link ceased operating on 3 August 2013.
When operations ceased in August 2013, Melbourne Bus Link operated 86 buses, primarily Volgren bodied Scanias. The fleet livery was white with purple and orange stripes.
