For
Sydney transport infoline/trip planner: http://www.131500.info/ Sydney Busses & Ferries: http://www.sydneybuses.nsw.gov.au/ Sydney Rails (city train): http://www.cityrail.info/ Interstate Trains (New South Wales, Aust Capital Territory, Victoria and Queensland): http://www.countrylink.info/ You can find the online map of Sydney train/bus/ferry on the above websites. Transport from Sydney airport to the city: 1. Train from airport to city (Central station) costs around $11 p/person one way, then you need to make your way to your hotel. 2. Airport (bus/van) shuttle (around $8 p/p one way). They take you from airport to your hotel. 3. Taxi, the fare is around $25 from airport to city. Sydney Explorer is worth to buy if you are going to see all those attraction near the Explorer bus stops eg. Opera House, Art Gallery, Powerhouse Museum, etc. You need to work out your plan (where you want to go), then see if a day tripper ticket is worth it. CT "Freda" wrote in message ...

When leaving Sydney, just take the train to the airport. It's cheaper than a taxi and convenient. Have fun! -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

The above reply is quite correct. There is however a day tripper pass on all trains, ferries and govenment buses for $15.00 per day or you can get a weekly ticket [purple travelpass] for $54.00 - see http://www.cityrail.info/fares/fare_3.jsp Geoff Lillico |

Not sure if Sydney Pass covers the Airport services. Dave |

When I train it to work I use a yellow weekly pass ($44)which covers trains buses and ferries out to Auburn and included the manly ferry (not sure about jet cat). There is a $10 platform charge for the airport line. Taxi drivers in Sydney generally do not know wher they are going so hopefully you do. -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

The normal ferry is much slower and you see more that way. Last January we stayed in Lane Cove River Caravan Park (in the national park) and used the weekly ticket for the area and were able to do all things on the water we wanted to, including the trip to Parramatta.
