South Yorkshire Transport covered the metropolitan county of the same name, operations being centred on Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster. At one time, the undertaking boasted some of the cheapest bus fares in the country - this came to an end with the advent of deregulation in 1986. The undertaking is now part of First Group, trading as Mainline.
