Transdev John Holland Buses is a bus operator in Sydney, Australia. A joint venture between Transdev and John Holland, it operates services in Sydney Bus Region 9 in the Eastern Suburbs under contract to Transport for NSW. It is a separate company to the former Transdev NSW, wholly owned by Transdev, which operated buses in other regions of Sydney prior to August 2023.
