Transdev in NSW is celebrating a facilities manager for decades upon decades of fantastic bus and coach service
Transdev Facilities Manager Paul Caprin has helped keep South West Sydney buses reliably on the road for the past four decades.
Bus operators seek to serve the community on the daily, getting safe and reliable buses on the road. Transdev says Caprin has always valued and supported the community in which he serves, frequently taking part in local charity events such as the Red Bull Billy Cart Race.
Caprin started his bus career washing buses for Cumberland Coaches in Wangee Road, Lakemba before moving on as an apprentice mechanic.
Transdev says his adaptability, passion and community spirit are evident in his journey. In 1983, he was photographed working on the pride of the fleet, a 1974 Leyland Leopard. In 2021, he was integral in the rollout of zero-emissions buses into the Transdev fleet.
Over the years, as Transdev grew through acquisitions and rebranding, Caprin transitioned into new roles and took on additional responsibilities. He expanded into facilities management and now oversees a fleet of 400 buses.
