Established in 2001, it replaced the Sydney Light Rail Company (SLRC), the previous owner of the light rail, and CGEA Transport Sydney, the previous owner of the monorail.[2][1] It was bought by the New South Wales Government in 2012.[3] The Metro Transport Sydney brand was discontinued from 1 July 2013, and the SLRC and Metro Transport Sydney were deregistered later that month.[1][2] Metro Transport Sydney contracted the day-to-day operations of the monorail and light rail to Veolia Transport Sydney, a subsidiary of Veolia Transdev, who operated them since 1998. After the government takeover of Metro Transport Sydney, Veolia Transport Sydney remained as the operator of monorail and light rail. Veolia Transport Sydney later renamed to Transdev Sydney on 1 July 2013.[4] The monorail coincidentally, was shut down on the same day. AssetsUntil the government takeover in 2012, Metro Transport Sydney owned:
Metro Transport Sydney advocated for a light rail extension to Circular Quay in the 2000s, but did not gain state government support.[5][6] This extension is now part of a future separate line known as the CBD and South East Light Rail, due to be completed in 2019. HistorySydney Light Rail CompanyIn March 1994 the Sydney Light Rail Company (SLRC) was formed. It was owned by Australian Infrastructure Fund (39%), Utility Trust of Australia (39%) and Legal & General (22%)[7][8] and was awarded a 30-year concession to operate the light rail system until February 2028 when ownership would pass to the State Government.[9] The contract gave the company significant control over the commercial arrangements relating to future extensions or interconnecting lines.[10] SLRC contracted operation of the line to TNT Transit Systems, which also owned the Sydney Monorail. Acquisition of the monorailIn August 1998 SLRC formed a joint venture with CGEA Transport named CGEA Transport Sydney to purchase TNT Transit Systems, the owner of the monorail. The share composition of the joint venture were CGEA Transport (51%) and SLRC (49%, with 19% Australian Infrastructure Fund, 19% Utility Trust of Australia and 11% Legal & General).[8] This purchase resulted in:
As a result, the operations of both the light rail and the monorail came under the same company (CGEA). In early 2001, Connex (renamed from CGEA Transport in 1999) sold its share of the monorail to the constituents of SLRC, bringing the monorail and light rail under the common ownership of Australian Infrastructure Fund, Utility Trust of Australia and Legal & General.[12] Due to SLRC and CGEA Transport Sydney having the same shareholders, they were subsequently combined to form Metro Transport Sydney. It continued to contract day-to-day opeations of the monorail and light rail to Connex,[13][12] which by 2012 was known as Veolia Transport Sydney.[14] By 2005, Metro Transport Sydney was owned by three companies: Australia Infrastructure Fund, Utility Trust of Australia and Colonial First State.[15] Government ownershipTransport for NSW, the transport agency of the Government of New South Wales, established the "MTS Holding Company" on 12 March 2012.[3] It purchased Metro Transport Sydney and its subsidiaries on 23 March 2012 for $19.8 million, which brought the company under the control of Transport for NSW and the government.[16] The purchase removed the contractual restrictions on expanding the light rail network and allowed the government to dismantle the monorail, assisting its plans to redevelop the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.[17][18] The monorail was shut down on 30 June 2013.[19]Cessation of the Metro Transport brandThe following day, 1 July 2013, the Metro Transport Sydney brand, along with its subsidiary Metro Light Rail, was phased out as part of a broader rebranding and reorganisation of public transport services in New South Wales. [20] The light rail was also placed under direct control of the government. Both SLRC and Metro Transport Sydney Pty Ltd were deregistered on 17 July 2013.[1][2] The process of shutting down Metro Transport Sydney and transferring assets to Transport for NSW was completed in September 2014 with the deregistration of MTS Holding Company.[21][22] GalleryReferences{{ref list}}External links
