Sydney CBD Shuttle Bus

Sadly this handy free bus service which used to run between Central and Circular Quay is no longer in operation :(

Great little free bus that stopped right outside our hostel and dropped us off at circular quay.
My only complaint is that the last bus is around 3.30pm which is not great when you have been out all day and want to head back to the hostel.

Free doesn’t always equal good. However the Free Loop bus system is definitely welcome. As a person who did a might amount of drinking in the city proper, it was interesting to be shuttled around way into the wee hours of the night, meeting other drinkers as myself and having random conversations with said folks all over the area.

FREE BUSES! I feel slightly naughty, in a schoolgirlish way every time I get on.
The shuttle buses are numbered 555 and run every 10 minutes or so around the loop of the CBD.
From Eddy Avenue Bus Interchange at Central Station, the loop heads up through Chinatown to Town Hall and Wynard, heading on to Bridge Street and up to Circular Quay. It heads round past Martin Place, to Museum Station down Elizabeth Street back to Central again. Or, the other way round.
Yes, they can get a little crowded. But I figure whatever statistical genie keeps track of their usage may one day deem to extend the hours and put on even more buses when they magically add up how many people appreciate this service. Not to mention the oddball sightings and random conversations public transportation brings you. Sometimes unwillingly, but hey. Keeps cars off the road, and my feet from declaring a unilateral strike from the rest of my body. More please — 3.30pm cutoff point for weekdays? I’m sure we can do better than that.
