Sydney Transport
Getting around Sydney is easy with the city's extensive public transport system. Metro, monorail, Light Rail, buses and ferries combine to make the city easily accessible.
By Metro
CityRail has a large range of leisure and tourist tickets on offer for visitors. You can travel around the city centre on the City Circle Line. The monorail has a fabulous city loop with eight stops throughout the CBD. The monorail leaves every 3 to 5 minutes and takes approximately 15 minutes to do the circuit.
Metro Light Rail is Sydney's newest transport system. Modern trams run from historic Central Station through lively Chinatown and Darling Harbour to the Star City Casino, the Sydney Fish Markets and Wentworth Park 24 hours, seven days a week. The Sydney Pass (available for three, five or seven days) provides unlimited travel for the duration of the ticket on all CityRail trains within a bounded area, on Sydney Buses and all ferries.
By Bus
Sydney Buses operates an extensive network of bus services throughout the city. The main bus terminals are located at Circular Quay, Wynyard, Town Hall and Central Station.
By Ferry
Ferries have been a part of life on Sydney Harbour for more than 135 years. Regular services can take you from Circular Quay to 41 wharves including Parramatta, Woolwich, Birkenhead Point, Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Bay, Neutral Bay, Mosman Bay, Watsons Bay, Taronga Zoo and Manly. To highlight the beauty of Sydney's harbour, harbour cruises operate during the day and evening, and offer special day passes to popular attractions such as Taronga Zoo and Sydney Aquarium. In addition to normal ferry services, premium JetCat services between Sydney's CBD and Manly are available during peak periods.
Taxis
Taxis in all parts of Australia are tightly controlled by government regulations. Sydney taxis are all metered and the driver must turn on the meter as soon as you enter the cab. Sydney taxis are generally plentiful and can be ordered by phone, taken from a taxi rank or hailed in the street.
