Shorelink is a commuter bus company serving suburbs on the upper North Shore of Sydney, Australia. On September 3 2001, the company was acquired by French public transport giant Transdev from the John A Gilbert group.

Shorelink was formed from the amalgamation of Hornsby Bus Group and Ku-ring-gai Bus Co. In 1998 they acquired part of the former St Ives Bus Company.

Prior to the sale to Transdev, Shorelink also owned and operated Koala Tours coaches, this was sold to Murrays Coaches.

[edit] Tickets & Fares

Shorelink operates its own ticketing system, including smartcard-based multi-ride tickets. Fares are charged in line with those of other bus operators in Sydney. The company is participating in a trial of Tcard, Sydney's proposed integrated public transport ticketing system.
