About this route

You won’t see the meter ticking on this trip — the regulator sets a single number for rank/hail journeys into the Sydney Opera House polygon. Expect about A$60.00 for a 6pm Friday ride to Sydney Opera House — the meter doesn’t step up to the night rate until later. Drivers normally finish this 13.4-km trip without crossing a tolled section, so the meter is the only number to watch.

Sydney Kingsford Smith is Australia’s busiest airport, with separate ranks at T1 (International) and T2/T3 (Domestic).

Rates verified against Transport for NSW (Point to Point Transport Commission); a typical Sydney Airport → Sydney Opera House fare on the day rate is A$60.00, the regulated maximum for the route.
