Ryde Bus Depot is a bus depot in the Sydney suburb of Ryde operated by Sydney Buses.

History

Ryde Bus Depot opened on 28 June 1953, the same day that Ultimo Tram Depot closed. It initially took over the operation of these routes, which were a combination of tram replacement routes and existing services operated by Burwood Bus Depot:[1]

In 1999, Sydney Buses purchased the business of North & Western Bus Lines whose depot adjoined. After initially operating separately, both were integrated. However because of the topography of the land, both remain physically separated with each having its own entrance.

As at January 2016, it had an allocation of 307 buses.[2]
