Delivering for the community
Since 1998, Transdev has been delivering light-rail services for residents in Sydney’s Inner West. In 2015, operations started for the L2/L3 lines connecting Kingsford and Randwick to the CBD.
Benefits for light-rail include:
- Encouraging the development of urban spaces by removing traffic and promoting active transport
- Enables better public transport with more connections for more people
- Boosts the economy by connecting people with key activity hubs
Creating future connections
In late-2018, Transdev was awarded the contract to supply, operate and maintain Stage One of the new Parramatta Light Rail. Operations are due to start in 2024.
Stage One of the Parramatta Light Rail will be proudly operated, supplied and maintained by Transdev. The new network will connect Westmead to Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD and Camellia over 12 kilometres. It will provide a vital link for the dynamic heart of Western Sydney.
Engaging the community
Our team at Sydney Light Rail have partnered with the Sydney Asylum Seekers Centre to provide traineeship and job opportunities for some of our newest residents.
As part of the partnership, asylum seekers were invited to meet with our Executive Team and spend a day on our Inner West Light Rail line finding out about the types of roles and work that we do. We also gained valuable insights into the challenges faced by new migrants and how we can address them to better service the community.
Parramatta Light Rail
Opening in 2024, Stage One of the Parramatta Light Rail will be proudly operated, supplied and maintained by Transdev. The new network will connect Westmead to Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD and Camellia over 12 kilometres.
Western Sydney is one of Australia’s fastest growing regions and this new light-rail system will provide residents with access to high-frequency ‘turn up and go’ services, linking to new active transport and existing heavy rail corridors.
A world leader in light rail
Operating 22 networks in 10 countries, we support the renewal of city centres and regional development.
Light rail in six words: environmentally-friendly, rapid, frequent, comfortable, safe, reliable.
Leading the way with hybrid
We are a global leader of hybrid tram solutions, delivering one of the first tram-train solutions in Europe and the first in France, located in Mulhouse in France. The route now carries more than 3 million passengers each year.
