[edit] Company name, trading name

According to [the company website] they are "veiolia transport". Veolia New South Wales or Veolia NSW is not mentioned nor is that what is shown on the livery either of their buses nor their coaches.

There is no entity trading as Veiolia NSW.

I think this page should be merged with Veolia transport. In other territories they trade with different names locally. This is not the case in Sydney.

The alternative would be a move to something along the lines of Veolia transport (Sydney). Garrie 23:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I think that it is quite clear from the text of the article that the company is a longstanding local bus company which happens to be currently owned by Veolia, and therefore deserves its own page, just as many of the other entities are that are currently owned by Veolia have separate pages. The example of Ford and McDonalds don't seen to equate as these are homogenous companies that operate in different companies, rather than separate companies with their own own lacal histories and operating patterns that have been bought out by a global operator. I would be keen to hear the opinions of others before agreeing to any moves or mergers. Quaidy 05:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

This article has come a bit of a circle. With the current name it is silly not to have at least minor descriptions of the monorail and light rail activities. But then the bus section should be given about the same coverage, so we are back in a situation of needing a seperate article to cover Veolia Transport NSW bus operations. That isn't an article name that leaps from fingertips to the screen though... I agree fully that the organisations connex bought which are now Veolia Transport are worth a distinct article (and some of the historic organisations may indeed be worth their own articles). Once that article is created the bus content could be moved there and a summary left on this article in similar manner to the other operations. This is entirely the type of organisation that could easily lose it's tender on the metro light rail, or the monorail, or decide to divest itself of bus transport - or take up heavy rail as it has in other juristrictions - so this article needs to be flexible, modular and adaptable.Garrie 04:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
