Getting Around
Bus
Sydney's buses cover the city and suburbs, costing $3.80 for a single trip with an Opal card, which you can top up at convenience stores or stations. To save money, travel during off-peak times between 9am and 4pm or after 7pm for discounted fares.
Taxi
Sydney taxis are widely available 24/7, with an initial fare of $5.60 plus $2.20 per kilometre, and you can pay using credit cards or contactless methods like Apple Pay in the vehicle. To avoid surge pricing during peak times, pre-book your ride via app or phone, especially when heading to events at places like the Sydney Opera House or Bondi Beach.

This place is really amazing! The people here are different; they are friendlier and always smile at you and your child. It doesn't matter if you're on the metro with a kid who is playing loudly and laughing or if you're going in the wrong direction (I always forget about driving on the left side). They will always smile back! 😊
The public restrooms shocked me with their cleanliness. Every restroom has toilet paper, and not that gray stuff, but good quality and plenty of it... No foul odors, and there's no old lady at the entrance demanding money for using the toilet! 💵
When shopping at stores or markets, a basic understanding of English is usually enough. Before the trip, I was worried that I wouldn't manage with my limited English skills, but it turns out it's sufficient!
As for the weather, it's interesting here; the sun can be blazing, then a cool breeze comes up, and a moment later, the sun is beating down again! People wear all sorts of things; some are in sundresses, while others may even be in jackets. 🌞
For me, the hardest adjustment has been the time difference. Normally, back home, I'm out cold by midnight, but here I can stay up until 2 AM without feeling tired. But these are just little things... this city is a dream! 🌆 »
