As a round-the-clock global city, Sydney has a public transport system that helps passengers, whether they are working shift or just enjoying a night out, to get home safely and easily.

For that reason, there are buses that operate along major corridors and between train stations all night long, even after the trains have stopped running.

Sydney Buses

Sydney Buses operate along major corridors to the North, East and West of the City into the early hours of the morning.

On weekends, Sydney Buses also operates special late night services, known as Pumpkin Buses to the Northern Beaches and Coogee.

On the Northern Beaches, the Route 130 Pumpkin Bus is a loop service that travels to Manly, Queenscliff, North Curl Curl, Dee Why, Skyline Shops and Allambie Heights on Saturday nights.

Revellers in the Coogee area can catch a free Pumpkin Bus. The first pick-up point is the Arden Street bus stop, out the front of the Coogee Oval. The bus is a set down only service, with pick-ups only at late night trading venues in Coogee, Randwick and Maroubra on Friday and Saturday nights.

CityRail NightRide Buses

Most CityRail trains do not operate between midnight and 4.30 am, however special NightRide bus services are available between these hours on most Sydney suburban lines.

All buses have radio contact with taxi operators and a taxi can be requested to meet passengers at their destination. Most NightRide buses are accessible to wheelchairs, but not motorised scooters.
