GettingAround Sydney

Buses are an easy way to travel in and around metropolitan Sydney. Most major bus routes operate 24 hours a day. Timetables are displayed at many bus stops – showing the route number, expected arrival time and destination.

Sydney Ferries provide a unique public transport service to the people of Sydney. It’s a practical way to travel between Sydney’s Central Business District and areas adjacent to Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River such as Manly, Double Bay, Mosman, Taronga Zoo, Balmain, Parramatta, Cockatoo Island and Darling Harbour. Ferry services operate daily, ending at midnight.

Taxis provide door-to-door service, 24 hours a day. Fares are calculated based on time and distance travelled – and are displayed on a metre. You may need to pay extra for tolls and booking fees.

A taxi from Sydney Airport to the city costs approximately $30-35.

Uber is a smarter, more cost efficient, safe way to get around Sydney when compared to a regular taxi. You’ll need to download the Uber app to your smartphone and set-up a user profile including your credit card details. From there, you can use the app to book a car at the tap of a button.

Best of all, Uber is cashless - your credit card is automatically charged - and there’s no need to tip.

If you have an international drivers license, you may choose to travel by car. You’ll need to cover the cost of registration, compulsory insurance, maintenance, petrol, tolls and parking if you have your own car.

Riding a bike is a fun, healthy and sustainable way of getting around the city. Using 2 wheels can also save you time and money. However Sydney is not as friendly to bike riders as Melbourne and so you need to be careful. There are many cycle ways though when you know where you are going. As such it is important to plan your route and take great care.

Note that riding without a bike helmet is illegal in Australia. In Sydney, you must carry identification.
