About metrobus

Sydney Buses is introducing a new metrobus service connecting Sydney’s inner west with the eastern suburbs via the CBD.

The new Route 10 metrobus puts all kinds of popular destinations at easy reach – including the restaurants of Norton St and Chinatown, shopping districts at Broadway, Paddy’s Markets and the city, cinemas at Leichhardt, Broadway, George St and the Entertainment Quarter and major sporting venues at Moore Park and Randwick Racecourse.

Plus, the metrobus conveniently stops near four universities and three train stations connecting passengers to the CityRail network including the Airport Line.

The new metrobus is a PrePay Only service, running every 10 minutes during peak periods and every 15 minutes during off-peak times.

The new route 10 service will operate in addition to all existing timetabled services. This means more buses, more often on Parramatta Road and Anzac Parade.
