Transdev Australasia is an operator of bus, ferry, light rail and heavy rail services in Australia and New Zealand. It is a subsidiary of French-based, international Transdev. It was formed in 2013 by grouping the operations of Veolia Transport Australia (previously Connex)[https://web.archive.org/web/20070512031646/http://www.veoliatransport.com.au/about/index.html About Veolia Transport (May 2007)], Veolia Transport Australia, Retrieved 9 January 2016 and former Transdev together, as a result of the global rebranding from Veolia Transdev to Transdev.

Veolia Transport's predecessor CGEA first entered the Australian market in 1998 when it formed a joint venture to purchase the Sydney Monorail and operate the Sydney Light Rail. The old Transdev entered the Australian market in 2001 with the purchase of Shorelink in Sydney's North Shore. Connex entered the New Zealand market in 2004 when it won the tender to operate rail services in Auckland.

As of September 2019, Transdev Australasia employed more than 5,800 people and operated 2,100 vehicles and vessels, delivering more than 150 million customer journeys each year across Australia and New Zealand.{{cite web|url=https://www.transdev.com.au/|title=Transdev Australasia Home Page|publisher=Transdev Australasia|access-date=5 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190905072039/https://www.transdev.com.au/|archive-date=5 September 2019|url-status=live}}

Transdev Sydney operates light rail services in Sydney on behalf of Transport for NSW.[http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/b2b/projects/iwe-light-rail-maintenance.pdf Maintenance Contract] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223112929/http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/b2b/projects/iwe-light-rail-maintenance.pdf |date=23 February 2014 }} Transport for NSW The light rail network includes the Inner West Light Rail and from 2019, the CBD and South East Light Rail. Formerly known as Veolia Transport Sydney, it also operated the Sydney Monorail until June 2013.

The operation of the light rail and monorail in August 1998 was Veolia Transport's first venture into Australia, and was still known as CGEA Transport back then.[http://data.iguana2.com/hastings/news-item?Number=139955&Code=AIX Stock Exchange Announcement] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305221841/http://data.iguana2.com/hastings/news-item?Number=139955&Code=AIX |date=5 March 2016 }} Australian Infrastructure Fund 11 August 1998 CGEA Transport formed a joint venture (51%) with Sydney Light Rail Company (SLRC), which were the owners of the Sydney Light Rail, called CGEA Transport Sydney. The joint venture was formed to purchase TNT Transit Systems, the owner of the monorail and operator of the light rail. This resulted in CGEA Transport owning the monorail as well as operating the light rail. CGEA Transport, already renamed to Connex in 1999, sold its share of the monorail to the SLRC in early 2001.{{cite web|url=http://www.metrolightrail.com.au:80/about/monorail.pdf|title=Technical Details (Metro Monorail)|publisher=Metro Light Rail|date=2000|access-date=1 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040407184901/http://www.metrolightrail.com.au/about/monorail.pdf|archive-date=7 April 2004|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.metrolightrail.com.au:80/about/company.html|title=Overview of Connex Worldwide and in Australia|publisher=Metro Light Rail|access-date=1 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030425123814/http://www.metrolightrail.com.au/about/company.html|archive-date=25 April 2003|url-status=dead}} The SLRC and CGEA Transport Sydney (without the Connex share) later combined to form Metro Transport Sydney.

Transdev NSW was a bus company operating services in the southern and western suburbs of Sydney, including those previously by Transdev Shorelink Buses. The origins of the company that is now Transdev NSW can be traced back to February 1935 when GH Ramsay commenced a bus service between Sutherland station and Woronora River. After series of purchases and changes of name, the company was purchased by Connex in 1999 and rebranded Transdev NSW in 2013. Since 2005, the company's services have formed part of Sydney Bus Regions 10 and 13,[http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/file/abouttrans/Region-10.pdf Region 10] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325104322/http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/file/abouttrans/Region-10.pdf |date=25 March 2012 }} Transport NSW[http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/file/abouttrans/Region-13.pdf Region 13] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325105436/http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/file/abouttrans/Region-13.pdf |date=25 March 2012 }} Transport NSW with the company also taking responsibility for Region 12 from Transdev Shorelink Buses in 2013.
