Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Travelove5811,272 contributionsSmaller scale than Melbourne's light rail ( Tram) system. And it is not free, unlike Melbourne's one which has a free ride zone within the city. In fact the fares are quite expensive, both here & in Melbourne. Convenient fare paying system - can use credit cards to just tap on/off at paying machines ( points ) located at tram stops. We noticed very "few" people pay the fares, most just got on & off tram without tapping on the payment machine stands.Written 4 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Skeney57Sydney, Australia21,976 contributionsGoing by other reviews I must be the luckiest bloke going around? But when you compare my most recent trip on the Rome subway system, where I was pick pocketed, the Sydney system is a gold class service in comparison! Also as I no longer have to travel in the peak, I find the trains to be reasonably pleasant, mostly on time and great value with a seniors card! A quick service with limited stops, makes for a relaxing journey and a friendly smile & wave from the female guard was a plus!Written 20 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alex FThe Villages, FL1,468 contributionsThis was during our tour in Sydney. On Sundays, the city has an offer were you only pay about $3.00 hop on and on any public transportation ALL day including the Metro, but you need an Amber Card. The trains are on time, very clean and comfortable. Down load their app for easy map with closest stop to your destination.Written 28 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bucketlisttravellersSydney, Australia3,783 contributionsThis is a fantastic way travel around Sydney. These bright yellow double decker buses are a new way to get from the Northern Beaches to the city. They run every 10 minutes and there are brand new car parks with bike racks at some of the major bus stops. The bus stops have signs which tell you when the next buses are due to arrive. You need to tap on with an Opal card to pay for your ride. It's only $2.70 for unlimited trips around the entire public transport network on Sundays and at other days a journey will cost you less than $5.
The bus goes all the way from Mona Vale to Wynyard and with just a few stops along the way it's a quick and picturesque journey. We particularly enjoyed going past Dee Why lagoon and Long Reef beach and seeing views that even as locals we'd never seen before. There are tv screens at the front of the bus to let you know what stops are coming up and there are even USB ports at each seat so you can charge up your phone during the journey. Cudos to the state government for making this happen. This is a brilliant way to travel!Written 3 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was easy to get to the SCG for the Swans game, convenient from Circular Quay, but the return trip was difficult.Had to walk nearly a kilometre approaching Taylor Square and then the bus terminated 3 blocks of Circular Quay, except having dropped off all the passengers, he drove on to where we wanted to finish - go figure.Written 17 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
