Which one to pick
One or two people, light bags, by day
The free WSI Link bus and a train is the cheapest way to the city: you pay the train fare only. It means a change at St Marys and well over an hour to the CBD.
A short trip: Penrith, St Marys, Liverpool, Campbelltown
A bus or a taxi will cost less than a private transfer. OSPIPO’s minimum fare from the airport is $120, which covers the first 20 km.
Three or four people with suitcases
One car at a fixed fare takes everyone door to door: $240 to the Sydney CBD is $60 each for four. Compare it with the taxi estimate above once tolls are added, and with a rideshare price at the hour you travel.
A flight before 6am or after 10pm
The bus routes run 5am to 10pm and WSI Link runs 4:30am to midnight (1am on Friday and Saturday). Outside those hours it is a taxi, rideshare or a pre-booked car. A taxi’s night rate applies from 10pm to 6am; an OSPIPO fare is the same at 3am as at midday, and the pickup time is worked back from your flight.
Beyond Sydney
For the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands, the South Coast, the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter, public transport from the airport takes several changes. OSPIPO drives up to 250 km from the airport at a fixed fare: Katoomba $265, Bowral $320, Wollongong $315, Gosford $405, Newcastle $625. Western Sydney Airport transfers →
