How do I to get to Bondi Beach

Choose from the many options listed below including bus routes and Local Train information...

When traveling to Bondi Beach from the Sydney City, its best to leave your car behind if you can as parking can be an issue at the beach. Warning -  parking meters are in all main streets close to the beach.

Public Bus services run to the beach at 10 minute intervals and even better all day buses from Bondi Junction. Services decline after 7.30pm and are less frequent, with buses every 15 minutes until midnight and, as a last resort, a bus runs every hour all night. On Friday and Saturday nights there are buses every half hour during the night.

The railway station at Bondi Junction is approximately 2 kilometres from the beach. The train service is scheduled to run every 10 minutes on weekdays, and every 15 minutes at weekends. All buses from the beach to the city go via the railway station at Bondi Junction.

The 389 bus starts from Circular Quay at the same bus terminal, and reaches North Bondi via the back streets of Paddington. It will not travel the waterfront at Bondi Beach, instead it travels along Glenayr Avenue, two blocks back from the beach.

Travelling from Bondi to the City

General Bus Information

    All single-ride fares will be collected by the bus driver, but you will soon notice, locals have pre-paid tickets. These can be purchased at most newsagents. The drivers do not sell multi-trip tickets except the all day pensioner special  costing $2.50.

Bus fares are calculated according to the number of sections you travel. It's not a single price system,  from Bondi Beach it's $1.70 to Bondi Junction (up to 2 sections), $2.80 for Paddington and Darlinghurst (up to 5 Sections) and $3.70 to Circular Quay. Ask the driver or read the leaflets.

The TravelTen ticket gives 10 bus rides for the price of 8 - for Bondi to the City you need the Red one costing $29.60. Bondi Beach to Bondi Junction you need the Blue one costing $13.60. There is also a brown TravelTen costing $22.40 for travel up to five sections. There is a Bus Tripper ticket giving unlimited rides for one day for $11.30 but these tickets do not cover train fares.

A weekly ticket called a "Red Travelpass" gives unlimited journeys on buses, trains and some ferries including  Taronga Park Zoo and covering Bondi to the City for $33.00. Recommended.

Hint: If you are planning a ferry trip to Manly during the week, buy the Green Travel Pass instead for $41.00, as the return ferry ticket alone costs $12.40 and is not covered by a Red Travelpass. There is also a Day Tripper ticket covering unlimited bus, rail and ferries for one day for $15.40 - this is ideal if you suddenly decide on a ferry ride to Manly.

There are premium tickets for tourists. These cover extras such as trains to the Blue Mountains and the tourist buses Bondi Explorer and Sydney Explorer. For example, the three day SydneyPass costs $110 for an Adult but it covers everything.

For enquiries ring 131500.

Bus Adventures

  Apart from the 380, lots of other bus services wind their way through the back streets. 

The 389 bus. This is a great alternative to the 380. Catch the bus at Circular Quay or in Elizabeth Street just north of Park Street. The 389 bus runs every 10 minutes all day (20 minutes on Sundays and 30 min after 8pm daily) and goes through the historic back streets of Paddington, following the route of an old tram service. You will pass a whole street of coffee shops in East Sydney, past the gates of the Darlinghurst Gaol, through streets lined with terrace houses, thence on to Bondi Junction. The 389 travels along Glenayr Avenue at Bondi Beach which is a long block but a level walk to the beach. Ask the driver to put you off at Hall Street or Curlewis Street. If you are lost, just stay on the bus as it terminates alongside the 380 at North Bondi. 
The 400 Bus. The 400 goes to the University of NSW, The Prince of Wales Hospital, Eastgardens and the Airport. This bus runs every five minutes on weekdays and every 10 minutes on weekends. Service are less frequent after 7pm and finish around 11pm.

Catch the 400 bus in Bondi Junction inside the bus interchange, or outside the Tea Gardens Hotel. Many passengers are students and staff going to the University of NSW; you can also get to the Randwick Ritz Cinemas (after a short walk, or go direct on buses 314-316-317) which are located at a suburb known as The Spot. This is a small shopping centre with the famed Ritz Cinema and a lot of relaxed restaurants. Originally on the tram route to Coogee.

Every 20 minutes a 400 bus continues on to the Domestic and International airport terminals. For shopping and movie buffs, the 400 takes you directly to the Eastgardens Shopping Centre and Cinema Complex.


The 378 bus. This goes to Bronte via Bondi Junction, and not to Bondi Beach. However the terminus is right at Bronte near the water. There is a pleasant beach and park at Bronte, lots of coffee shops and a great cliff-top walk back to Bondi. The walk takes between 40 minutes and an hour and is highly recommended.
