NEWCASTLE BUSES AND FERRIES NOW IN HANDS OF PRIVATE COMPANY

Today marks the start a new era for Newcastle’s public transport, with the keys to the city’s bus and ferry services handed over to private owner Keolis Downer.

Switching signage overnight, the first Newcastle Transport buses departed Hamilton and Belmont depots this morning sporting the new logo.

It also means a costume change for staff… ending more than 80 years of the a government-owned transport service.
