My Tips on Transportation for Travellers To Sydney, Australia

I spent 5 years living in New Zealand and also been to Australia a few times. It’s a part of the world I love! If you’re visiting Sydney but worried you won’t be able to get places without private transportation, I thought I’d give you a rundown. Have no fear and don’t grieve over your situation, because there are many ways of transportation you can use to go about in Sydney without a fuss. It does not matter whether you are travelling alone, with family or friends, or with a group of strangers whom you just met and wish to explore Sydney with: Sydney has modes of transportation for all situations.

The best way to travel in Sydney

The easiest way to get around Sydney is perhaps by utilising its amazing public transportation network and services. The transport line at 131 500 will provide you with guidance regarding the timetable which the transportation network in Sydney follows. This will give you a clear idea as to which modes of transportation would be available at your disposal at the time you require them.

A guide to using public transportation in Sydney

Here is a guide to public transportation in Sydney from the moment you arrive in this gorgeous city.

The best thing to do the moment you decide to travel by public transportation in Sydney is to get to the city center. To get to the city center, the best mode of transportation is the Sydney Trains. The Sydney trains go around the city and stop at many convenient stops for you to get off including all the way to the Blue Mountains, but getting to the city center or the seafront is the best thing to do if you wish to go to the best places for tourists – the Opera House, Bridge, Cathedral etc.

At the city center is a free shuttle service of bus which operates in the city centre all throughout the week on route 555. It is also the easiest way to get Sydney buses in the city centre because it is the focal point of the city for such a purpose. The Sydney bus service will take you to all the gorgeously breathtaking spots within Sydney which a tourist must visit at least once in his or her lifetime at a very cheap fare. Some of the most famous places which the Sydney bus service takes tourists are Bondi Beach, Opera House, The Rocks and the Manly.

Another point of advice while travelling within Sydney at nighttime is this; whenever planning on taking a trip around Sydney, make sure you use the 131 500 number for the official trip planner. This hotline will get you all the information you need regarding the places you want to go and will help you draft up your trip in a very efficient manner. Only in Sydney do the people care about your experience and try to make it as wonderful as possible; Sydney is truly a heaven on earth.

If beauty is what you seek…

…buses will do you no good if beauty is what you want to enjoy. Take the ferry in the harbour of Sydney to have a serene experience surrounded by the beautiful city. There is a service known as Water Taxis, which will take you to all the preferred harbour locations for tourists to make your experience truly memorable, so do make sure to check them out.
