Transport for NSW

In March 1932, the first Department of Transport in New South Wales was formed by the Lang Government.

[22] The company, light rail and the monorail also became under control of Transport for NSW and the government.

[30] The Sydney Monorail was closed down on 1 July 2013, and on the same day, the Metro Light Rail brand was phased out as part of a broader rebranding and reorganisation of public transport services in New South Wales.

[36] The suburban services of CityRail (also a part of RailCorp) were transferred to Sydney Trains, while CountryLink (also a part of RailCorp) and the intercity services of CityRail were passed on to NSW Trains, trading as NSW TrainLink.

[2] On 1 April 2022, the Greater Sydney Parklands Trust was transferred from the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) to Transport for NSW.

[47][48] The Luna Park Reserve Trust, Place Management NSW and the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust and Smart Places Strategy were also transferred from DPE to Transport for NSW.

[49][50] The authority develops regulations, policies and legislation to ensure that transport is delivered to a high standard, meets community needs, protects assets and public money, minimises environmental impact, and ensures the community is safe.

Transport for NSW directly manages most train, bus, ferry and light rail services in New South Wales.

[70] Operation of the services is contracted out to a mixture of other government-owned organisations and private enterprise.

The following sub-brands are used depending on the type of service: Passengers made 765 million public transport journeys in the 2017-18 financial year.

[70] These services, outsourced to Serco since July 2010, were previously known as the Transport InfoLine or simply 131500.
