Parramatta. Company dropped from bidding

Following the resignation of Jim Glasson from his position as director-general of the Ministry of Transport to become CEO, of the Parramatta-based ComfortDelGro transport company, that company has been dropped as a bidder for Sydney Ferries. Transdev TSL and Veolia will be asked to bid for the service. A decision on privatising the loss-making service is expected at years-end. ComfortDelGro’s business includes the Westbus and Hillbus services.
