SYDNEY BUS ROUTES Brief histories from 1925 to the present of the routes and operators of private bus services in the metropolitan area of Sydney, NSW, Australia Routes & Operators as at 1 January 2005 (including routes with numbers in the Sydney Region Route Number System in the Blue Mountains and Picton areas) A work in progress. Corrections and comments welcome – [email protected] This list shows private bus routes with numbers in the Sydney Region Route Number System and the Camden “country” series as at 1 January 2005, together with their operators and the contract regions to which they belonged. This date fell shortly after completion of the renumbering of metropolitan private bus routes (other than Camden “country” routes) into the Sydney Region Route Number System. The final routes to be renumbered (74/106 in the 1925 number scheme) were allocated 953 in the newer system in December 2004, when all the routes previously operated by Harris Park Transport were transferred to other operators. The first day of 2005 also marked the transfer of some of Baxter’s routes to other operators, as part of that company’s exit from route bus operation. Some comments on the development of bus route numbers in the Sydney metropolitan area can be found under “About” on the main menu. As noted there, routes in the Sydney Region Route Number System include those on the Blue Mountains (an Outer Metropolitan bus region) and in the Picton area (a Rural & Regional bus region). Those routes are mentioned in the “Notes” column below. Between 1980 and 2005 there was a huge reduction in the number of Sydney metropolitan operators. Almost all routes came under the ownership of a small number of large companies, some locally based and others from overseas. Since 1980, the number of operators had dropped from just below 90 to fewer than 20, when the groups of operators under the same management (see Part C) are taken into account. Further details of each route are given in the Route Histories. As the Sydney Region Route Number System applies to both Government and privately-operated bus routes, some of the blank numbers in this list (up to 553) are used by Sydney metropolitan Government bus routes.
