Train
The Sydney Cityrail network operates from Bondi Junction in the east to the Blue Mountains in the west, south to Wollongong and north to Newcastle.
Inner-city trains leave from most stations every few minutes. Services to and from regional areas, such as Wollongong and Newcastle, usually leave every 30 minutes.
Bus
You can catch a bus to almost all parts of Sydney.
There are more services at peak-hours than at off-peak hours. Some services operate only during peak hours. Consult the bus timetable.
Bus fares are calculated on the distance travelled. Some buses require tickets to have been pre-purchased. These tickets are available at newsagencies and convenience stores throughout Sydney.
Ferry
Sydney Ferries operates ferry and Jetcat services between Circular Quay and most suburbs on Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River.
