Transdev employees marked R U OK? Day this 11 September with community breakfasts, depot visits and shipyard events to drive conversation about mental health.

Transdev’s bus operations in Queensland partnered with Night Ninjas to host a pancake breakfast at Redlands Bay Marina, engaging with local school students and commuters. Journey Makers later joined each other at a pizza drop-in session, with conversation-starting shirts from TradeMutt encouraging meaningful check-ins.

At Transdev John Holland Buses in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Mental Health First Aiders visited depots with R U OK? Day cupcakes, reinforcing how small moments can create space for important conversations.

Meanwhile at Transdev Sydney Ferries, Senior Leaders joined the team at Balmain Shipyard, donning R U OK? shirts and handing out themed KitKats to remind everyone that even light-hearted gestures can open the door to deeper connections.

Huw Bridges, Chief Safety & Assurance Officer said: “Whether breakfast with the community or conversations at our depots and shipyards, it’s great to see Journey Makers mark this day by stopping and asking a simple yet powerful question.”

Mr Bridges thanked everyone who helped bring the day to life and encouraged all participants to carry forward the spirit of R U OK? Day: “because every day is an opportunity to check in and connect”.
