Transdev NSW
Transdev NSW is a bus company operating services in the southern and western suburbs of Sydney. The origins of the company that is now Transdev NSW can be traced back to February 1935 when GH Ramsay commenced a bus service between Sutherland station and Woronora River. After series of purchases and changes of name, the company was purchased by Connex in 1999 and rebranded Transdev NSW in 2013. Since 2005, the company's services have formed part of Sydney Bus Regions 10 and 13,[2][3] with the company also taking responsibility for Region 12 from Transdev Shorelink Buses in 2013.

Transdev Sydney operates light rail services in Sydney on behalf of Transport for New South Wales.[4] Veolia was originally contracted to operate these services in addition to the operation of the Sydney Monorail under the privately owned Metro Transport Sydney. This contract was maintained upon Metro Transport Sydney's purchase by the Government of New South Wales on 23 March 2012.[5] The monorail was decommissioned on 30 June 2013.[6][7] A new contract, beginning in mid 2015, covering operation of the Inner West and CBD and South East lines with signed with the ALTRAC Light Rail consortium in December 2014.
