What is the cheapest way to travel around Sydney Australia with only 2 people? |
Travel Info My husband and I will be traveling to Australia for only about 5 days. There are a lot of places we want to go but have no idea how to get to any of them! Just wondering if theres is a bus system there or should we rent a car? Travel Tips I wouldn't bother renting a car in Sydney for just a few days - especially if you are not use to high volume traffic. There is abundance of tour buses/coaches, and the public transport system. Take a look at these sites::::: Transport Info Line - http://www.131500.info/realtime/default.... Comprehensive detail of all Cityrail - http://www.cityrail.info/networkmaps/ind... Plubic Transport Sydney - http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/about... Sydney Buses - http://www.sydneybuses.info And Discover Sydney鈥檚 Transport System - http://www.discoversydney.com.au/sydney/... Others kangaroo,lol i went to australia b4 and there is a ton of tour vehicles there. mostly for seeing wildlife but i say if you can swing it rent a car also cuz i cant being stranded without a car There is a good bus system...also trains that can get you up and down the coast. If you rent a car don't forget you'll be driving on the "wrong" side of the road and in Sydney proper this is extremely hazardous. I did it and spent half the time lost. The local airlines like virgin blue have very cheap flights to many destinations throughout the country. Have fun! DONT RENT THE CAR you will be lost there. there is good bus service or train the best is to take a orgonised tour of the city. I lived in Sydney I suggest renting a car Train and bus system is quite good but a rental car would be a better option to maximise your five days For travelling within the city - zoo, museum, aquarium etc., I suggest a combination of bus, train and ferry (and not the car) You can see a LOT of Sydney in five days using public transport, which is extremely affordable. There are also a multitude of tour operators which do extensive day tours during which you can really get a good idea of what Sydney is like. Sydney is great to drive around if you have a good map and avoid the peak hours at either end of the day which turn the city into a giant car park, so hiring a car to negotiate the sights really depends on how much of your holiday you want to spend in traffic. If you are staying in Sydney's central area you can walk everywhere, and the walking is pleasant and interesting. Beyond the CBD, however, you will need to use transport to get to most places! Most of the city rail stations will take you easily to desitinations further out, and the rail system itself is quite extensive: http://www.cityrail.info/ Very affordable and accessible 'quick tours' can include trips around the Harbour and waterways aboard a Ferry or Cat: http://www.sydneyferries.info/ There is also a bus network: http://www.sydneybuses.info/ plus a tram (light rail) service and a monorail: http://www.metromonorail.com.au/... The goevrnment networks (rail, bus and ferry) have ticket packages which allow you to travel on all systems, but you must pre-pay for all tickets. You cannot buy tickets on board.
