Transit First was an Australian bus company operating in the south-western suburbs of Sydney. ==History== Transit First's origins can be traced back to August 1982 when Peter Threlkeld purchased Holswothy Bus Co with 15 buses and services between Liverpool, Holswothy and East Hills adopting the trading name of Westway Bus & Coach Service. In July 1987 Milperra Bus Co was purchased with services between Milperra and Bankstown. In January 1997 Westway purchased the routes 915 to 921 in the Auburn and Bankstown area from Crossley Bus Lines.〔"Crossley Bus Lines" ''Fleetline'' March 1998 page 66〕〔"Crossley Bus Lines" ''Fleetline'' May 1998 page 100〕 In May 2003 Bankstown-Strathfield Bus Service and West Bankstown Bus Service were purchased from the Treuer family. In July 2003 the combined operation was rebranded as Transit First.〔(Westway / Transit First ) Australian Bus Fleet Lists〕〔(Transit First launches ) ''Australasian Bus & Coach''〕 Due to the Sydney Metropolitan Bus Service Contracts that started in January 2005, some of the Baxter's Bus Lines were transferred to Connex and Transit First.〔(Baxter's Bus Lines February 2005 Home Page )〕 In September 2006, the services that were transferred to Connex were eventually replaced by new services which were operated by Transit First.〔(Sydney Bus Routes 900-999 ), Retrieved 12 February 2014〕 In February 2007 Transit First was sold to Veolia Transport NSW.〔(Veolia Transport NSW ) Australian Bus Fleet Lists〕〔(Veolia to expand Sydney bus services ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 9 January 2007〕 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「Transit First」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
