History
Melbourne trams
In August 1999 MetroLink Victoria Pty Ltd, a 50/50 joint venture between Transdev and Transfield Services, commenced operating the Yarra Trams Melbourne tram franchise.[1] In April 2004 it took over the M>Tram franchise from National Express resulting in it operating the entire Melbourne tram network.[1] By 2007 it was part of the TransdevTSL group.[2] TransdevTSL was shortlisted to bid for the franchise for renewal but lost to Keolis Downer who took over in November 2009.[3][4]
Brisbane Ferries
In November 2003 TransdevTSL was awarded a contract by the Brisbane City Council to operate the Brisbane Ferries service.[5] In November 2010 this was extended for a further 10 years.[6] However one month later, the joint venture dissolved and the ferries was renamed to Transdev Brisbane Ferries in July 2013.
Shorelink Buses
In 2005 Transfield Services purchased a 50% interest in Transdev's Shorelink bus operation in Sydney.[7] Rebranding on all buses took place in 2008 when Shorelink was renamed TransdevTSL Shorelink Buses.[8] In December 2010 the joint venture was dissolved, with the company renamed Transdev Shorelink.[9]
