Getting Around Sydney: Guide to Public Transportation
As a sprawling, beachside state capital with more than five million residents, public transport is essential for Sydney. The city is Australia's leading public transport hub, with 20.9 percent of residents using it to travel to work in 2016, compared to 13.4 percent of Melbourne residents. The public transport in Sydney has steadily improved over the past decade as the city has become less reliant on driving.
Sydney's public transport network is made up of regular trains, buses, ferries, light rail, and the newly opened driverless Metro line. Local trains offer extensive coverage across the city, mainly via above-ground lines, although many beaches (including tourist hotspot Bondi) are best reached by buses. A free, pre-loadable card called an Opal allows visitors to use all public transport through a tap-on tap-off system.
If you have a contactless Visa debit or credit card, you can also use it to pay at the Opal card readers. (Adult Opal fare prices are charged using this method, including daily and weekly fare caps.) However, be aware that your bank may charge international transaction fees on each transaction. If you are traveling in a group, each person will need to use a different Opal card or credit card to tap on and off.
At some stations, you can still buy single tickets, but buying an Opal card as soon as you land in Sydney (at the airport or a nearby retailer) is probably the best bet for a stress-free trip. At the airport train stations, the minimum Opal top up is $35. At all other points of sale, the minimum is $10 for adults and $5 for children. You can use this credit and then top up your Opal when you run out, either online, via the Opal Travel app , through a ticket machine, or at an Opal retailer .
How to Ride Sydney Trains
Sydney's trains are the most popular and easiest way to get around. Since the first passenger railway was built in New South Wales in 1855 , the network has expanded across the city with nine lines that meet at Central Station, including an airport line, a light rail line, and the fully-automated Metro line. The train is also a great way to avoid peak hour traffic.
If you're thinking about venturing further afield, NSW TrainLink trains depart from Central station and connect Sydney to regional centers including the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra and the Southern Highlands.
- Fares: Opal fares can be a little tricky to understand at first as they are determined by distance traveled. Train fares range from AU$3.61 for up to ten kilometers to AU$8.86 for 65 kilometers or more. If you go during off-peak times (weekends, public holidays and outside of 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.), you will be charged 30 percent less than these prices. Fares are capped at AU$16.10 a day, AU$50 a week, or AU$8.05 on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, meaning you will not pay more than this amount no matter how many trips you take. (This does not include the Sydney Airport station access fee of AU$14.87, which has a separate cap of two visits per week.) If you forget to tap off, you will be charged the maximum fare for that trip.
- Concessions: Adult fares apply to those aged 16 years and older, except for local students and those eligible for a concession . Children and those eligible for concession fares will need to purchase a specific Opal card to access these prices, which are usually around half of the adult fares. Children under four years of age travel free.
- Routes and Hours: Sydney's trains usually run every 5 to 15 minutes, with trains every couple of minutes in the city center and during peak times. Train services run from 4 a.m. to around midnight on most lines. Many bus routes operate 24/7, and NightRide buses replace most train services during the early hours of the morning. The City Circle at the heart of Sydney's train network is precisely what it sounds like; a route that passes underground from Central to the city's most frequented stations in the Central Business District and back to Central again.
- Service Alerts: Sydney's trains generally run on time, but delays and changes do occur. Track work, especially on weekends, can also disrupt service. You can find information about service changes on the Transport NSW website .
- Transfers: Transfers between Sydney Metro, Sydney Trains, and NSW TrainLink Intercity services are automatic, so there is no need to tap off and on again between them. All other transfers made within 60 minutes will be charged as a single journey. The Sydney Ferries Manly service is the only exception, with 130 minutes from when you tap on to transfer to another service.
- Accessibility: All trains and ferries in Sydney are accessible, with boarding ramps available on request. However, some train stations have stairs that restrict access, as do some ferry wharves. Accessible buses, with ramps and curbside kneeling capacity, can be identified with the international wheelchair symbol. These buses also have priority seating and extra space inside. You can visit the Transport NSW website or call 131 500 for more information on accessibility.
How to Ride Sydney Buses
Like many cities, Sydney's buses are mainly used late at night and to connect between train stations. They are also particularly useful in coastal neighborhoods, like the Northern Beaches and the Eastern Suburbs, and outer suburbs that lack rail connections. With hundreds of routes crisscrossing the city, buses are often the quickest way to get where you're going if you're familiar with the city.
- Fares: The same daily and weekly caps apply across all forms of public transport. Bus fares range from AU$2.24 for under three kilometers of off-peak travel to AU$4.80 for eight kilometers or more.
- Routes: The large number of bus routes in Sydney can be overwhelming. Check the Transport NSW website for maps or the TripView app to figure out your nearest bus stop.
- Hours: Most buses run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Other Transit Options
Sydney is sandwiched between the sea and the mountains, meaning there are some places that the local bus and train routes can't reach. Sometimes, ferries, bike- and ride-shares or rental cars might be a more straightforward choice.
Catching the Ferry
As a harbor city, Sydney's ferries are an important (and scenic) form of public transport. There are seven ferry routes, with essential services running from Manly and Mosman on the northern side of the harbor to Circular Quay. Ferries can be accessed using your Opal card and are a little more expensive than the train. Check the ferry timetable on the NSW Transport website in advance, as service can be scattered.
Riding a Bike
Biking is becoming increasingly popular in Sydney for commuters, with some dedicated bike paths and bike lanes available. There are no public bike-sharing programs, but Lime e-bikes are popular. It is illegal to ride a bike without a helmet, but only some of the Lime bikes come with helmets attached. If you're planning to cycle, also keep in mind that some parts of the city are quite hilly and the weather can be uncomfortably hot in summer.
Taxis and Ride-Sharing Apps
If you're in a rush or far from a train station, Sydney has plenty of taxis and ride-sharing apps like Uber to help you out. These operate all over the city and may even work out cheaper for groups, especially to and from the airport. Many locals prefer ride-sharing apps over taxis, which can be expensive, hard to find, and may refuse rides the driver deems too short.
Renting a Car
If you're planning to make a day trip or two outside of Sydney to visit the countryside or the Blue Mountains, a car will probably be necessary. However, parking in the city center can be costly, as can tolls to use certain roads, and peak hour traffic is a hassle, so most visitors can get by on public transport during their stay in Sydney.
Tips for Getting Around Sydney
- Split an Uber from the airport if you're traveling with a group rather than paying the AU$14.87 station access fee (plus the standard Opal fare) per person to take the train.
- Allow extra time for your journey late at night and on weekends, as trains are often replaced by buses due to trackwork.
- Stand on the left side of the escalator and walk on the right if you want to stay in Sydneysiders' good graces.
- Talking is prohibited in 'quiet carriages' which will be well-signposted. They are usually the first and last carriages of the train.
- Hold your hand out to hail the bus you want to catch; otherwise the driver will likely continue on their route right past you.
- Travel on Sundays , especially on the ferry, to make the most of the AU$8.05 Opal card cap.
- Avoid the north-south drive across the Harbour Bridge (or through the Harbour Tunnel) during morning traffic, from around 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Centenary Drive, Lane Cove Road, Epping Road, Homebush Bay Drive, the Eastern Distributor, and Cahill Expressway are also notoriously slow before and after work.
Once you've got an Opal card, you'll be all set to get around Sydney on public transport. You can download the TripView app or use the trip planner on the Transport NSW website to plan your journey and get real-time service updates.

A personal favourite, Bowral is Australia’s best-known booktown , having held the distinction since 2002. The charming and elegant town is a dream destination for book lovers with a number of striking bookshop cafes, libraries and old-world accommodations. Although the largest town in the Southern Highlands of NSW, it’s peaceful and laidback enough if you just want to get out of town and pretty easy to get to using public transport.
Start your day with coffee and breakfast at The Press Shop , located in an old bespoke letterpress studio, or head to The Mill Cafe for chic, industrial vibes and plenty or vegan and vegetarian options. A stop at Harry’s on Green Lane and Plantation Café is absolutely essential for bookworms with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and bright, breezy interiors.
There’s heaps to do aside from all the bookish activities. Step back in time with a visit to Empire Cinema — the country’s oldest commercial cinema — or make your way to Mount Jellore Lookout in the Mount Gibraltar Reserve for stunning views of the bush. Corbett Gardens hosts the annual Tulip Time Festival with thousands of tulips on display, arguably one of the best spring day trips on public transport. Here’s our full guide to Bowral .
How to get there: Catch a direct train from Central and get off at Bowral Station. Distance: 2 hours
Just 2 hours from the CBD and nestled comfortably between the sea and the mountains, you should be berry excited for this trip. Warm, welcoming and very chic, Berry is one of our favourite day trips on public transport from Sydney. Be sure to visit the Seven Mile Beach National Park for some sun, sea and sand. Foodies will find a number of delicious breakfast, lunch and drink options along the way. The famous Berry Donut Van , which has been in operation for over 55 years, is also a local staple.
History buffs should keep the Berry Historic Museum on their radar while lovers of the great outdoors can look forward to mountain vistas, beaches, rivers and National Parks . Berry is a bit further ahead with the total journey by public transport under 3 hours, but the hike is totally worth it. Read more about Berry here .
How to get there: Catch a direct train from Central and get off at Bowral Station. Distance: 2 hours, 40 minutes
6. Wollongong
Just an hour and a half from Sydney is the beautiful coastal city of Wollongong . It’s a popular destination for Sydneysiders for its beaches, small bars, lovely lookouts and rainforest walking tracks . Its proximity to Sydney also makes it a good choice for people wishing to work in the city but save some money on living expenses. Wollongong makes for an exciting day trip adventure and a picturesque getaway using public transport – though drivers have the advantage of the Grand Pacific Drive to enjoy.
Essential activities include a visit to the Wollongong Botanic Garden , Nan Tien Temple and an afternoon at Jamberoo Action Park . The coastal city is also home to a number of spectacular lookouts including the Instagram-famous Bald Hill Lookout at Stanwell Tops. The Illawarra Fly treetop walk will also take you through a lush beautiful rainforest with treetops and ocean views to boot.
How to get there: Direct train from Central to Wollongong. Distance: 1 hour, 45 minutes
7. Palm Beach
The Northern Beaches suburb of Palm Beach is instantly recognisable for being the setting of the iconic show Home and Away (and more recently, it featured in 2023 rom-com Anyone But You ). This fairly underrated part of Sydney is packed with insanely gorgeous lookouts , hikes and places to eat. While within city limits, it’s far enough to warrant a day trip.
Spots to visit include the historic Barrenjoey Lighthouse , the hidden Bible Garden and the idyllic Palm Beach Markets . It’s also a popular spot during the whale-watching months . You’d be seriously missing out if you didn’t stop for lunch at The Boathouse. The waterside venue offers incredible views of Palm Beach along with excellent breakfasts and seafood options. If you love water activities, there are options to kayak, swim and catch a ferry to a number of nearby locations.
How to get there: Catch a B-Line bus from Wynyard and get off at Observation Point, Barrenjoey Rd Distance: 2 hours
8. Avoca Beach
Avoca Beach is a pretty coastal village in the Central Coast chock full of activities for water lovers . Swim, surf, go on coastal walks or just enjoy the sweeping views of the ocean in this idyllic spot. There’s heaps to do in and around Avoca Beach. You can hire pedal-boats and kayaks for some fun in the water at the Avoca Lake or shop from 90+ stalls and enjoy live music at the Avoca Beachside Markets . The Bouddi Coastal Walk is also a superb activity that takes you through hidden beaches and scenic views.
In the surrounding area, you’ll find the famous Avoca Beach Theatre , a charming theatre playing a variety of films for cinema goers including new releases and classics. It also hosts Italian evenings, Bollywood nights, film festivals and live concerts over the year. For food and drink, The Point Cafe located right on the beach should be your number one pit stop along with Block ‘n Tackle Brewery for beers and ciders.
How to get there: Catch the train from Central Station to Gosford, and pick up the 66 bus. Distance: around 2 hours, 30 minutes.
9. Long Jetty & The Entrance
View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 (@greentangerinelongjetty)
Sticking around the Central Coast, the place often dubbed ‘ Newtown by the sea’ offers a home away from home for Sydneysiders, and one of the most accessible day trips on public transport. Long Jetty is home to an array of retro clothes shops like Plain Janes, Webster’s, and Tiki La La (who also stock vintage furniture pieces), and once you’re done thrifting, you can quench your thirst at Upstairs Wines, who stock a variety of local and international wines. Snapping a picture of the famed ‘Welcome to Long Jetty’ mural (it’s on Thompson Street, on the side of Green Tangerine café) is a must, and you can’t leave without exploring The Long Jetty itself, which stretches 351 metres into Tuggerah Lake and commands views of some truly impressive sunsets.
Neighbouring Long Jetty to the north is The Entrance , and we’d encourage you to pair the two beach towns for an ideal day trip. Swim or surf in the turquoise waters of The Entrance Beach, or rent a bike and cycle along the shore of Tuggerah Lake . At the foreshore and along high street, you’ll find a number of eateries and pubs along with live music and ice cream parlours, all feeding into the effortlessly laidback beachy vibes of this must-visit town.
How to get there: Catch the train from Central Station to Gosford, and pick up the 21 bus towards Entrance North. Distance: around 2 hours, 20 minutes.
10. Scotland Island
Scotland itself is a bit far, but Scotland Island is a much more accessible spot – like Palm Beach, it’s within the city limits, making it one of the most convenient day trips on public transport. You’ll need to hop a ferry to reach the island, which is home to around 1000 residents – some year-round, some who visit for the weekends only. Scotland Island attracts guests for the serenity of the place; surrounded on all sides by the shimmering waters of the Pittwater estuary, the island is home to bushland reserves and native animals. There’s a strong sense of community here, which extends to the community-run café in Catherine Park , and seasonal events such as summer’s Shakespeare in the Park .
How to get there: from the CBD, catch a bus to Church Point or Newport and catch the Church Point Ferry to one of the island’s four wharves (note: Opal cards are not accepted on the Church Point Ferry). Distance: around 1 hour, 40 minutes.
