The South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive is the Passenger Transport Executive for South Yorkshire in northern England. It is supervised by the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Authority, which consists of representatives from the metropolitan boroughs of Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, and Barnsley.

It is responsible for various public transport services in the county, particularly the Sheffield Supertram and various subsidised bus services. Between 1974 and 1994 it ran virtually all bus services in the county. From 1986 until 1993, buses were operated by an arms length company, South Yorkshire Transport (SYT), until a staff buyout created the bus operating company Mainline Buses.

Future

The SYPTE will be re-named as Travel South Yorkshire over 2006. Changes include the introduction of the yournextbus scheme on all stops as well as LED departure boards on some stops.
