Almost 100 years serving public and private sector clients

Veolia Transdev was formed in March 2011 from a merger between two world-leading passenger transport providers – Veolia Transport and Transdev. 

 

Veolia Transport

Before merging, Veolia Transport had been present in Australasia since 1997, when it won the contract to operate a bus operation in Western Australia. The company subsequently grew to encompass passenger transport services across Australasia, including buses in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia; rail in Auckland, New Zealand; and light rail and monorail in Sydney.   

 

Transdev

Before merging, Transdev had been present in Australia since 1999, operating a ferry business in Brisbane and an extensive bus network in North Sydney. Transdev won the Brisbane CityCats and CityFerries operations in 2003 and successfully retendered, winning the contract for a further ten years, extending until 2020. Transdev took over the Sydney Shorelink business in 2001 operating bus services in Sydney’s North Shore.
