Transit Systems is an Australian-based public transport company. It was founded in 1995 by Lance Francis, Graham Leishman and Neil Smith who together had operated Bayside Buslines in Brisbane, Peninsula Bus Lines on the New South Wales Central Coast and Sunliner Express on the east coast in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Transit Systems' business units in Australia are:
Swan Transit is a bus operator in Western Australia. Founded in 1995, it was the first business unit of Transit Systems to be created. In its first four years, Swan Transit was awarded five bus contracts in Perth and they commenced operations between 1996 and 1998. Swan Transit later acquired other contracts in Perth as well, with all of its contracts operating under the Transperth brand. Swan Transit also commenced 10 year contracts to operate services in Bunbury and Busselton under the TransBunbury and TransBusselton brands in January 2015.
Territory Transit is a bus operator in Darwin. It constitutes part of the Darwinbus bus service. Territory Transit took over the Darwin Bus Service operation in October 2014, after Transit Systems successfully tendered the contract in July that year.
Torrens Transit is a bus operator in Adelaide. It first founded in 2000 when it commenced operating the Adelaide Metro East-West contract under contract to the Government of South Australia, which was renewed in July 2011. In April 2005, Torrens Transit commenced operating the North-South and Outer North East contracts, but these contracts later passed to Light-City Buses in October 2011. Due to continuous poor performance by Light-City Buses, eight of their routes were stripped off and were returned to Torrens Transit in April 2013.
