Adjusting local bus routes to prepare for the future bus rapid transit projects, including the Midvalley Connector bus rapid transit project in West Valley City, Taylorsville and Murray, one to connect south Davis County with downtown Salt Lake City and possibly one on 5600 West.

Services Īmong the new services introduced by Urban Transit were route 111 Sydney Explorer in November 1980 and route 300 Circular Quay - Sydney Airport in 1982. Urban Transit introduced four Freshwater class ferries for the Manly service ( Freshwater, Queenscliff, Collaroy and Narrabeen), two hydrofoils ( Manly and Sydney) and nine First Fleet catamarans ( Sirius, Supply, Alexander, Borrowdale, Charlotte, Fishburn, Friendship, Golden Grove and Scarborough). The inherited ferry fleet consisted of five ferries dating from the 1910s ( Kameruka, Kanangra, Karingal, Karrabee and Lady Edeline), seven Lady class ferries ( Cutler, McKell, Woodward, Wakehurst, Northcott, Herron and Street), two Manly ferries ( Baragoola and North Head) and five hydrofoils ( Fairlight, Dee Why, Curl Curl, Long Reef and Palm Beach). 
These along with Mercedes-Benz O405s had replaced most of the Leylands when Urban Transit ceased.
By 1987 the O305 fleet would total 1,287, the world's largest. Urban Transit inherited a fleet 1,680 buses comprising Leyland Worldmasters, circa 740 Leopards, Atlanteans and 657 Mercedes-Benz O305s.
