There are three options of public transport in Sydney. Trains are very safe and clean. They run frequently and it is usually easy to get a seat, except during peak periods. They also cost about the same as a bus. Buses in Sydney are supplied by the New South Wales government and they are built to a very high standard. Along with being both modern and clean, they usually run on time. There are also private buses that you can take if you are in outer suburbs where state buses don’t travel. Ferries are the third option and they should be used whenever possible. This is because when there is a ferry route between two destinations, a ferry is the usually the fastest way to get there, as a general rule. A ferry is also cheap and it allows you to get outside and enjoy the sights of Sydney Harbor, one of the most beautiful harbors in the world.
There is one important thing that any prospective tourist should note. Generally, most routes in Sydney are not serviced by both buses and trains. The tourist will be forced to take one or the other, depending on where the destination is.
There are two very good options for transport passes if you are in Sydney. The first is a day tripper pass. This pass allows a person to use unlimited transport until 4am the following morning. All three transport options mentioned above are able to be used with a day tripper pass. It is a very cost effective way to see the sights during a short stay and the tourist will get their money’s worth. For a longer stay, the Sydney pass might be a better option. This is the ultimate, all-inclusive pass that is valid for eight days. This gives the tourist unlimited travel for various numbers of days. The more days that are desired, the higher the price.
Taxis also should be mentioned. While they are not public transport, taxis can be a very useful alternative in certain situations. They are more expensive that the other transport options. However, if you are in need of transport in an area not serviced by buses or trains, a taxi can definitely get you where you are going.
