Interesting general good news story on Opal data mining.
Opal data gives insight into Sydney's busiest buses
The interesting bit is that the 400 bus route is the busiest in Sydney.
There is also a little tidbit on future plans for SYD at the end. They're building an interchange at the airport and adding 2 new bus routes. Is that seriously a cheaper option than just killing the gate fee at the airport? the city's south and inner west are both areas that could readily use the train to SYD if the expense of the gate fee was removed.

Sydney's busiest bus route is the 400 from Burwood in the west to Bondi Junction via Sydney Airport, data from NSW's Opal electronic ticketing system shows.

While the 400 service remains the only bus to stop at Sydney Airport, the government has committed to providing an extra two bus services– one from the city's south and another from the inner west – once a new interchange is completed at the domestic terminal in 2018.
The seven-storey interchange will include a drop-off and pick-up area for buses as large as double-deckers.
