Keolis Australia is the subsidiary of public transport operator Keolis which operates bus, train, tram and ferry services in Australia. Previously a joint venture between Keolis and Downer Group known as Keolis Downer, it was rebranded in March 2026 after Keolis bought out Downer Group's shareholding in December 2025.
History
In June 2009, the Victorian government awarded to Keolis Downer the franchise to operate the Melbourne tram network in Melbourne, Australia[1] for eight years, starting in November 2009.[2][3] Keolis Downer continued to use the Yarra Trams name, which had been used by the previous operator TransdevTSL.[4]
