Catching public transport

For some journeys, public transport can be quicker and cheaper than car travel.

Why not travel to the airport by train?

• Visit the 131 500 Transport Info website to plan your trip. You can enter in where you're travelling to and from, and at what time, and find out the quickest way there by bus, train, light rail, ferry and/or cycle paths.
• Think about when you travel. If you can travel off-peak, you'll avoid crowds and save money on rail fares.
• Ride your bike to the station and you won't have to worry about finding car parking. Check for secure bicycle lockers near you or at your destination.
• MyMulti is a weekly, quarterly or yearly public transport ticket that gives you unlimited travel on CityRail trains, light rail, bus and ferry services within your chosen zone. To find out more, visit the 131 500 Transport Info website.
• Most special events in Sydney, like football finals, are supported by extra public transport services for spectators. Ask about these when you buy your ticket, or visit the events section at www.131500.com.au.
• Going away? Reduce your environmental impact with a CountryLink holiday. To find out more, visit the CountryLink website or call 13 22 32.
• There are also long-distance private train services that pass through some of Australia's outback landscapes. For more information visit the Great Southern Rail Sales Centre or call 132 147.
• Catching a plane? Use the Airport Link: it’s one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to get to Sydney Airport. A train can get you from Central to the airport in as little as 10 minutes – plus you’ll avoid parking fees and taxi fares.
• Frail and aged people, those with disabilities and their carers, and families living in remote areas can use community transport to get to shops, health care and social activities. To find out about services, phone NSW Health toll-free on 1800 639 398.
