Environmental Message

State Transit manages one of the largest bus operations of any city in the world.

State Transit operates 3 businesses:
Sydney Buses, Newcastle bus and Ferry Services and Western Sydney Buses (the Liverpool to Parramatta Transitway).

In April 2006 the State Government announced an investment of $250 million to replace more than a quarter of the bus fleet with a mix of Euro 5 Volvo diesel buses and CNG Mercedes buses - the latest in environmental technology.

State Transit's Environment Policy, commits it to the objectives of legislative compliance, continuous improvement, environmental best practice and Ecological Sustainable Development.

Targets for Environmental Performance have been set in the areas of fuel, (461/100km non air- conditioned diesel, 591/100km air conditioned diesel and 65 cubic metres/100km CNG), electricity (1320kWhrs/employee/annum) and water consumption (24kL/employee/annum).

Take the bus, help protect the air we breath

In Sydney, motor vehicle emissions is the main source of air pollutants. If you drive your car an average of 50 kms a day, you contribute up to 3.8 tonnes of greenhouse gases and particulates every year. This pollutes the air we breathe and is a major cause of respiratory health problems.

Each bus can keep up to 50 cars off the road for each trip. Imagine the reduction in pollution, noise, traffic and road congestion that this could make.
