Shorelink Buses in Sydney bus showing the remnants of the TransdevTSL name in September 2014 In 2005 Transfield Services purchased a 50% interest in
Transdev-owned
Shorelink bus operation in
Sydney. Rebranding on all buses took place in 2008 when Shorelink was renamed TransdevTSL Shorelink Buses. In December 2010 the joint venture was dissolved, with the company renamed Transdev Shorelink. The operations were absorbed into
Transdev NSW in 2014.
Melbourne trams In August 1999 MetroLink Victoria, a
joint venture between
Transfield Services (50%)
Transdev (30%) and
Egis (20%), commenced operating the
Yarra Trams Melbourne tram franchise. Transdev bought out Egis' shareholding in 2000. In April 2004 it took over the
M>Tram franchise from
National Express resulting in it operating the entire Melbourne tram network. TransdevTSL was shortlisted to bid for the franchise for renewal but lost to
Keolis Downer who took over in November 2009.
Brisbane Ferries In November 2003, Metrolink Queensland, a joint venture between Transfield and Transdev, was awarded a contract by the
Brisbane City Council to operate the
Brisbane Ferries service. The operation was renamed TransdevTSL Brisbane Ferries. In November 2010 this was extended for a further 10 years. The joint venture dissolved one month later. The ferry operation was rebranded Transdev Brisbane Ferries in July 2013. ==References==
