About this route

The standard path out of Sydney Airport avoids tolls, so the meter is the whole story for this trip.
Sydney Airport sits inside the curfew zone, so there are no scheduled arrivals between 11pm and 6am — the rank empties out overnight and the first bank of morning flights is when demand spikes. Over 25.5 km the meter alternates between two rates: a per-kilometre charge while the cab is moving, and a per-minute waiting rate once it drops below the slow-speed threshold. That is why a A$67.41 trip from Sydney Airport to Manly costs more in stop-start traffic than the distance alone suggests. All fares quoted track the official schedule published by Transport for NSW (Point to Point Transport Commission); the day-rate midpoint from Sydney Airport sits at A$67.41.
