context_page_description: TransdevTSL, formerly MetroLink, was a 50/50 joint venture between the old Transdev and Transfield Services that operated trams in Melbourne, ferries in Brisbane and buses in Sydney. The joint venture was dissolved in December 2010 when Transfield Services sold its shares to Transdev. These three operations were the old Transdev's only Australian operations. Two of them would later be taken over by Veolia Transdev, formed from the merger of old Transdev and Veolia Transport in March 2011.
  Veolia Transdev later formed another joint venture with Transfield Services called Harbour City Ferries, which operated ferries in Sydney since July 2012. The new Transdev bought Broadspectrum's share in December 2016.
context_section_description: In 2005 Transfield Services purchased a 50% interest in Transdev-owned Shorelink bus operation in Sydney. Rebranding on all buses took place in 2008 when Shorelink was renamed TransdevTSL Shorelink Buses. In December 2010 the joint venture was dissolved, with the company renamed Transdev Shorelink. The operations were absorbed into Transdev NSW in 2014.
