The Sydney Outer Metropolitan Bus System Contracts (OMBSC) are contracts issued by the Government of New South Wales to bus operators in areas surrounding Sydney. These regions include the Hunter Region, Central Coast, Illawarra and the Blue Mountains. In 2014-15, 14.7 million passenger journeys were made on Outer Metropolitan bus services. ==History== The OMBSC is made up of ten bus system contract regions, OMBSC 1 to 10.〔(Outer Metropolitan Bus System Contract Regions ), ''Transport for NSW'', Retrieved 8 July 2014〕 These regions were declared and appeared in the NSW Government Gazette on 1 August 2008.〔〔(NSW Government Gazette 1 August 2008 ), Retrieved 8 July 2014〕 Unlike the Sydney Metropolitan Bus Service Contracts which are put out to open tender, the government has indicated it does not intend to go down this path with the OMBSCs, but negotiate with the incumbent operators.〔(Annual Report 2012 ) Bus & Coach Association NSW〕〔(Bus Customers to Benefit from Outer Metropolitan Contract Negotiations ) Minister for Transport 27 April 2013〕 Like the bus contracts in Sydney, a requirement of the OMBSC contracts is that operators cease using their own liveries and adopt a standardised white and two blues livery as prescribed by Transport for NSW. This livery was first implemented from 2010. As of 2014, the transition to the standardised livery is ongoing. The Newcastle Buses & Ferries contract for region 5 was renewed for three years from 1 July 2014.〔(Annual Report 30 June 2014 page 89 ) State Transit Authority〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sydney Outer Metropolitan Bus System Contracts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
