VEOLIA TRANSPORT AUSTRALIA

Veolia Transport Australasia (VTA) (formerly Connex Group Australia*) was established in 1997, and since then has secured transport operations encompassing buses, light rail, trains and monorail in Australia and New Zealand, with further plans for development.

The company is responsible for more than 230 million passenger journeys per annum served by approximately 4,100 employees, using more than 1,100 vehicles. VTA's expansion is based on its expertise, decentralised organisation, aggressive commercial capacity and a long-lasting relationship and mutual trust with local authorities. The turnover for VTA's businesses in 2007 was approximately $823 million.

Veolia Transport works in partnership with local governments, authorities and private companies to deliver high quality transport services to communities in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, the South West region of Western Australia, Brisbane, and Auckland.

* VTA's businesses in Australia and New Zealand adopted the Veolia Transport brand during 2006 except in Melbourne where the train business will continue under the Connex brand.
