TheSydney Olympic Park bus routes operate from various places inSydney toSydney Olympic Park when significant cultural or sporting events are held at the Sydney Olympic Park precinct.
During its project to host the2000 Summer Olympics, Sydney promised that transportation around the city during the Games would be done exclusively by public transport. For this to happen, the city only built a new transport hub, but did not purchase any new modes. Only minimal car parking space was provided, with the intention that most people went to the competition venues using the public transport. This also involved the creation of arailway line. However, this project still left parts of the city without access to sustainable and affordable forms of public transport.To address this, a series of new bus routes were devised. These services commenced in 1998 in conjunction with theSydney Royal Easter Show moving fromMoore Park to the Olympic venue.[1] With a few adjustments, these remain today. The routes operate at events such as theRoyal Easter Show,State of Origin andNRL Grand Final as decreed by theState Government.[2]
