  • Tip Rating:
  • Use the public transport possibilities. These are an ecxellent and cheap possibility to reach Sydney.
    Best for moving around in Sydney is also public transport. Sydney has a very good transport net. Look for special prices like daytickets.

  • Tip Rating:
  • The airport is so close that it is worth it for even 4-5 hours. Take a cab or the train to the harbour.

  • Fly the Aussie airlines: Quantas and Ansett. They are top-rated in the world.

    The Sydney CityRail, the buses, and the ferries are clean and efficient. There are also taxis everywhere.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Train tickets are almost half price after 9am so try to avoid the peak hours. Countrylink also have lots of specials on fares up the north coast. Often half of the advertised price so make sure you ring before you book a bus ticket.. they are much more comfortable.. call. 132232

    Trains: IN most ways I would say...
  • Tip Rating:
  • IN most ways I would say sydney has the best transport system in Australia.
    The trains run more regular and later than any other system in the countryThe ferry service from Manly is a great trip.Where the Sydney transport falls down is lot of the systems run separate meaning it can work out expensive if you want to use different forms of transport..THATS where my cityMelb hold it's own you can use train tram bus with the same ticket lol.
    I found the transport cost very frustrating on my last trip to Sydney just due to the need to buy so many seperate tickets.

    Trains: We flew to Sydney from...
  • Tip Rating:
  • We flew to Sydney from Melbourne, our home city. It took just over an hour and there were no delays. This was impressive given that it was the height of the Olympics. We flew with Impulse Airlines - no frills for $80 per person one way.
    Sydney's public transport system works for us. We have visited Sydney on many occasions and have never been let down. Getting about the city during the Olympics was the ultimate test and the trains and buses were most impressive in their operation and service.

    Trains: Railway in Sydney
    Travelling around Sydney is easy and cheap as they have a very well organised railway system. I prefer railway to bus as the results

    Trains: Leave plenty of time for the wait!
    Trains in Sydney are run by Cityrail, and cover most of Greater Sydney. A single journey costs about $5 for adults but for tourists there are day passes for $15.40/adult which can be used on other means of transport also. Trains usually come every 15 mins, and less often on weekends and off peak times. The thing with cityrail is that trains can often be delayed so don't plan your trip exactly on the ctyrail timetable! If traveling at night, travel near the guard's corridor (marked with a blue light). Trains can be overcrowded with students and workers in the morning and late afternoon/evening.
