State Transit Authority

As of November 2024[update], the New South Wales Government has not yet put forward a Bill for the dissolution of the State Transit Authority of NSW.

In view of its political sensitivity, the agencies responsible for public transport in New South Wales are frequently restructured.

[6][7] On 13 October 2013, the Western Sydney Buses route T80 was taken over by private operator Transit Systems.

[10] In October 2019, it was announced that State Transit's remaining three bus regions are to be contracted out in early 2020.

[11] Region 8 was taken over by Keolis Downer Northern Beaches in October 2021 with 410 buses operating out of Brookvale, Mona Vale and North Sydney depots.

[18] In November 2012, Transit Systems won the tender for Sydney Bus Region 3 which included route T80 with the service and 22 buses transferring on 13 October 2013.

It operated 28 bus routes plus a ferry service across the Hunter River between Queens Wharf and Stockton.

Major interchanges were located at the University of Newcastle, Wallsend, Glendale, Warners Bay, Belmont, Charlestown Square and Westfield Kotara.

[20] Such university routes ceased as from Monday 21 December 2020, having been replaced by the CBD and South East Light Rail.
