NightRide is a network of bus routes in operation between midnight and 4.30am in Sydney, Australia. The sixteen routes allow for a nightly shutdown of the Sydney Trains suburban rail network and Sydney Metro. The NightRide network was established in mid-1989 as low-patronage late-night train services were progressively withdrawn.[1][2]
Services follow major roads, and some stops are some distance from the railway stations they replace.[3] In addition, some routes serve stations on multiple railway lines. In the city, most services depart from George Street, above Town Hall station. Normal bus fares apply to NightRide journeys.[4]
