Funnily enough, 510 is the figure I went for first. As you can see on that
Yarra Trams page, they've also come up with yet another figure - more than
480. I guess "more than" covers any possibility.

Anyway, using that YT table and your info, I've settled on this:

*Trams*

Melbourne 513 (126x30 metre, 204x24 metre, 183x15 metre)
Greater Sydney 48 (30x60 metre, 18x30 metre)
Adelaide 24 (24x30 metre)
Gold Coast (Greater Brisbane) 18 (18x45 metre)
Canberra 14 (14x30 metre)

*Buses*

Greater Sydney 5,500 (350 artics and double deck)
Greater Melbourne 2,700 (40 artics*)
Greater Brisbane 1,750+ (70 artics)
Perth 1,692 (137 artics)
Adelaide 1,034 (185 artics and double deck)
Canberra 460 (44 artics)
Hobart 167 (15 artics)
Darwin 79

By the way, a typo - that was meant to be "Potemkin trams *not* allowed",
since you've posted a photo of some Potemkin trams.
