Autopax Passenger Services (SOC) Ltd has its origins in the passenger services provided by the former South African Road Transport Services, under the names of Transtate and Translux. During the period after 1990, these two businesses were consolidated into the Passenger Services Division of Autonet, a division of Transnet. Autonet was corporatised into the legal entity Autopax Passenger Services (Pty) Ltd.
Autopax Passenger Services (SOC) Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Passenger rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA). Autopax operates two bus services, the luxury brand- Translux and semi luxury brand-City to City. In an effort to diversify revenue streams Autopax also operates a tailor made bus hire solution known as Autopax Charters.
As a subsidiary of PRASA, Autopax has the same Vision, Mission and Values.
Autopax is a wholly owned subsidiary of PRASA, and has as its main object and business, the long distance road transportation of passengers. The fleet size is 555 buses.
