Delivering change • Improving urban bus services • November 2019 00 Executive summary Buses are critical urban infrastructure. They not only provide access to jobs for workers without a car, but they offer the mass-transit capacity that make jobs-dense, high-wage city centre economies possible. In so doing they take cars off of the road, and reduce greenhouse gases, nitrogen dioxides and fine particulate matter from tyres and brakes. Bus services link people to friends and family, young people to education, shoppers to high streets and communities to the public services — from GPs’ surgeries to libraries — that they need.

The North South region is an integrated bus and light rail contract which will be delivered in joint venture with John Holland Group Pty Ltd (“JHG”) and UGL Pty Ltd (“UGL”). The new bus and tram passenger transport service contracts commence in early July 2020 and are each for an eight year period with a government option to renew for a further two years. Estimated contract revenue is approximately $1.45 billion in total over the eight year contract term. The bus contracts to operate services for the East West & Outer North East contracts are contracts that Transit has operated since 2000 and 2018 respectively. The Outer North is a new contract region to Transit, which will transition from the current private operator. With the award of these contracts, Transit has grown its participation in the South Australian market and remains the largest private operator of public metropolitan bus services in Adelaide, employing over 1,100 people locally and expanding the local service footprint.
