Tiger Tours is an Australian coach charter company in Sydney. Until October 2011, Tiger Tours was known as Caringbah Bus Service, and operated route bus services in Sydney Bus Region 11, in Sutherland Shire.
The company started in 1942, when Keith Wood bought route 50, which operated between Caringbah and Miranda with diversions to Taren Point as well. The Taren Point diversion was sold to Sutherland Bus Service in May 1955. The name Caringbah Bus Service was introduced later that year.
In 1992, the company bought a portion of South Western Coach Lines' route 114 (Miranda – Caringbah) and merged it with its route 50. In 1993, route 50 was reorganised as:
These services operated from Miranda to Port Hacking, Dolans Bay and Lilli Pilli via Caringbah station, and school services in the area. In 2009 they were changed so that route 977 no longer operated via Willarong Road and Crescent Road but operated direct via Port Hacking Road. Willarong Road and Crescent Road were then covered by route 978.
When the Sydney Metropolitan Bus System Contracts was established in 2005, the operation area of Caringbah Bus Service belonged to part of Region 11, which was shared with Crowthers and Maianbar Bundeena Bus Service. Crowthers would later be sold to Veolia Transport NSW in 2009.
In October 2011, the route bus services of 977 and 978 were sold to Veolia Transport NSW with nine buses. Since Region 11 was dominated by Veolia (having both Crowther and Caringbah routes), it was merged into its neighbouring Region 10, which was Veolia's operation area.
