Transdev NSW is an Australian bus operator in the northern, southern and western suburbs of Sydney on behalf of Transport for New South Wales. It is a subsidiary of Transdev Australasia.
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. It was sold to Mayman Brothers in 1948 and Doug and Barry Smith in 1966 trading as Woronora Bus Company. Following the opening of the Alfords Point Bridge in September 1973 the service was extended to Padstow station. The operation was renamed Menai Bus Service.
In August 1988 Menai Bus Service was purchased by Ron Deane who at the time operated Deanes Coaches on the North Shore. In March 1989 the Hurstville to Bankstown and Lugarno services of Peakhurst Coaches were purchased, although the latter was sold in August 1989 to Punchbowl Bus Company. In July 1989 the business of Hadfields Bus Lines, Engadine were purchased and at this point, all the operations were rebranded as Southtrans. In October 1990, three routes were transferred from South Western Coach Lines, followed in December 1990 by two routes from Sutherland Bus Service.
Other bus companies subsequently acquired were:
Crowthers remained as charter operator as of January 2016. Caringbah Bus Service also remained as a charter operator under their previous charter operation name Tiger Tours until May 2015, when the business was purchased by Dunn Motor Traction and merged into its Telford's Bus & Coach operations.
