hubble Posted December 29, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 29, 2009 We stayed downtown at the Hilton and used the 555 free bus to get around, mostly between the hotel and Circular Quay. Signs say it only runs until 3:30pm, but it does run later than that. We caught it twice after 5pm, but I am not really sure how late it runs since I never asked. Also note, it runs both directions on the loop so take the shortest direction or you could get stuck on it for a very long time in traffic. We learned that the hard way the first day we got onto it thinking it would just loop back to our hotel (it did, but it took 20 minutes or so). We also discovered if you aren't going very far, it may be quicker to walk if during morning or afternoon commute time because the buses are packed and it takes quite a while loading/unloading and sitting in traffic. If you use them between around 10am to 3pm while most locals are at work they are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends which day, Thursdays it's until 9 p.m and Sat, Sun and public holidays it's until 6 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badkittyx2 Posted December 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We were there in the summer, I love that bus. We too used it to and from our hotel (Menzies) to the circular quay area, don't forget to check out Paddy's Market! Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
