Sydney Airport Transport

Sydney Airport offers several convenient transport options into the city, including train, public bus connections, taxis, rideshares, and private transfers.​

Train

The Airport Link train is the fastest and most direct public transport between Sydney Airport and the city centre, taking about 13–15 minutes to Central and CBD stations. Trains run roughly every 10 minutes from around 5:00 to midnight, but tickets include an extra station access fee that makes this option relatively expensive compared with regular suburban trains.​ See full information

Buses

Regular public bus routes, such as the 420, stop at both the international and domestic terminals and connect the airport with nearby suburbs like Mascot and Burwood rather than directly with the CBD. Many travellers use these buses to reach Mascot Station and then transfer to a standard train, reducing the cost compared with taking the Airport Link directly from the airport stations.

Taxis and rideshares

Taxi ranks are located directly outside all terminals, and the journey to downtown Sydney usually takes around 20 minutes, depending on traffic. A typical one‑way fare to the CBD is about 45–55 AUD, which can be cost‑effective if you are travelling in a group or carrying a lot of luggage.​ See full information

Private transfers and shuttles

Private transfer services and shared shuttle buses operate between Sydney Airport and many central hotels and suburbs, offering door‑to‑door convenience. These options are usually more expensive than public transport but can be more comfortable and straightforward, especially after a long flight or when arriving late at night. See full information
