Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

[Quickstatus]

Prior to 2000, there was that bus from Sydney CBD that went to the airport.

The 300 Circular quay to airport ran for decades but shut down after the Sydney Olympics. At one stage called the Airport Express.

Currently there are 2 buses 420 and 350
420 Burwood to Mascot via airport (int and dom)
350 Bondi Junction to SYD DOM (not Int).

Both stops at coward St then 200m walk to Mascot train station

The 420 also stops near Burwood station For those taking the Sydney train Northern line, this is a good option. For those taking the North Shore line or city then Mascot is the stop.

Buses replace trains Central to Syd atm. So no access fee?

Correct. This weekend. Just hop onto Trip planner NSW.

420 also stops and Banksia and Rockdale which is good for T4 transfers to Cronulla/ Hurstville or even to Bondi Junction.

I vaguely recall in Airport Express days also direct services from Kings Cross (which had a lot more hotels back then) and indeed searching around it also carried the 350 route number.

There was a 350 Kings Cross- Airport but later (IIRC) the 300 extended to Kings Cross- Circular quay - Airport

Bondi Junction.

Thanks!
Int/Dom to Bondi Junction:

420 to Rockdale then to T4 line and no need to change trains at Central

Rather than changing at Mascot to T8 train line and then changing at Central to the T4 train line
Or changing from 420 to 350 at Dom or Mascot and contiue to BJunct by bus

 

[SYD]

The “Airport Express” buses ceased as soon as the rail opened.

Also, there used to be a 400 express bus Bondi Junction <-> SYD.

No idea why they axed it for the 350?

The 350 is a “milk run” route up and down the eastern suburbs beaches (nice views). The 400 was a reasonably direct service that took a fraction of the time…alas, for us the closest 400 stop was at the Bondi Junction interchange, whereas the 350 has a stop around the corner.
