How often do they come?
Trains The train system is a good way of getting to the outer suburbs and around the CBD quickly. Check if there’s a train station near you. Where will they take me?

There are plenty of stations along each line, so check out the timetable to see if any are close to where you live. How often do they come? Trains run roughly every five-60 minutes, and less often for more regional locations.

Buses around Sydney vary in arrival times, usually averaging between five15 minutes at popular bus stops and ranging up to an hour in the outer suburbs. Buses also come less frequently late at night. You’ll need a timetable to figure these out. Posted at each bus stop you’ll see a listing explaining the route each bus number follows What does the number mean? Each bus has a number and goes a slightly different way to other buses. Most of the areas have a similar number that services the various routes e.g. the buses that travel throughout the Inner West district include the 422, the 423, and 428. If the bus you catch has an L or X somewhere in the number, be careful! Some of these buses are express buses, meaning they won’t stop at certain bus stops. Check with the driver if you’re unsure.
