Bus/Rail services
Scheduled bus and rail services are generally reliable and comparatively affordable, though it is advisable to check www.transportnsw.info/en/transport-status/ for any scheduled rail works. All bus, train, light rail, and some ferry services utilise Opal cards (much like Ez-Link cards in Singapore). Opal cards can be purchased at convenience stores or online. Check out www.opal.com.au/ for more information.
​
Useful phone applications:
  • Opal Travel: Useful for tracking the amount of money left in your card and for adding value.
  • ​TripView, NextThere & Tripgo: Useful for planning your trip beforehand, and for finding out bus arrival times.

Taxi
Travel by taxi is usually quick and easy but expensive. Taxi operate on a meter system and tipping is not required. Taxis can be hailed on the street, by calling 13 2227, or by using the 13CABS app. Approximate cost for a journey from campus to city is about $20 and can cost up to $30 from the Airport. 

Ridesharing
Compared to Taxi, ridesharing apps such as Uber or Ola are much cheaper options to get around Sydney.
