The fastest way to Sydney's city centre is the airport link train. Trains run about
every 10 minutes. The trip just takes over 13 minutes a Central Station and
about 20 minutes to Circular Quay. There are two stations at the airport the
International Airport station and a domestic airport station located below
the passenger terminals. When you arrived look for signage for the Airport Link
train. The airport is well signposted. The Airport Link train stops at several
stations in central Sydney, so most visitors can get fairly close
to their hotel without changing trains if you do need to go to another part of Sydney
or beyond you connect to all train lines at Central Station.If you need to take a
ferry at the Circular Quay station. You can buy tickets at the airport at either
station from a ticket machine or a ticket office while the train fare
itself is not expensive four dollars and forty cents there's a hefty Airport
station access fee of $14.30 bringing the one-way fare to $18.72 Australian dollars.
Children between 4 and 16 the total comes to $15 children. Under 4 right for
free. It is possible just to buy a single trip ticket but if you're spending some
time at Sydney you want to buy an opal card. Opal cards are smart card tickets
as you keep top up and reuse to pay for travel on public transportation
throughout Sydney and New South Wales. Opal card fares are a bit lower than
single ticket prices and you take several trips you should save even more.
More time and less money you could take the regular public bus route 400 & 420
buses travel to and from the airport as well as the 420N , night bus for
less than $5 Australian. You can travel from the airport to Circular Quay, the trip
will take one and a half hours and the opal card will save you money on your
bus fare and some buses only takes the opal card, so pick one up a t the
airport. Protip: Bus plus train. If you want to
save your money the cheapest option is to take the local 400 bus towards Bondi
Junction get off as a stop after the domestic terminal station which is only
300 meters from the Mascot rail station if you catch the train at this station
you will not have to pay the airport access fee taking the bus and then the
train is not the most convenient option but the bus will only cost you $3:30 and
the train for $4.40 so this is the best choice if you're on a tight budget.
Taxi and rideshare taxis will cost about forty five to fifty five dollars to
Circular Quay plus an airport toll of $4.60. Ride share services will vary depending
on demand. Fares usually start about thirty seven dollars plus the airport
toll. Enjoy your stay in the Southern hemisphere and if you've enjoyed this
