The benefits of PrePay include:
- Quicker boarding times for bus travellers to increase the reliability of bus services.
- Easy transfer of large notes, instead of requiring change from the driver, who only carries limited change.
- Shorter boarding times, so less waiting at bus stops.
- Save money, as most of our prepay tickets are discounted.
Find out where to buy tickets
Sydney Buses is always investigating new initiatives, to encourage customers to PrePay, including:
Sydney Buses has introduced a number of PrePay Only bus services, meaning a cheaper, faster and easier ride for customers.
No tickets are sold on these buses. Customers will need to PrePay before they ride.
Why not take advantage of our multi-ride tickets, which not only save you time, but also money! TravelTens, TravelPasses and DayTrippers are the most popular tickets, as they provide the greatest value, depending on your travel pattern. These tickets are available from a wide range of Sydney Buses ticket agents across Sydney.
Pensioner Excursion Tickets (PETs) and Single Ride tickets are available from a limited number of ticket resellers along the route and some ticket vending machines.
Tip: You can purchase multiple single ride tickets, or buy a TravelTen or Travel Pass to save money. Keep a spare in your wallet, as TravelTen, TravelPass and PETs sold from Sydney Buses' ticket agents and TransitShops only become activated when first used.

- Watson St - The first trial to speed up boarding times was conducted in 2004 at the Watson Street bus stop on Military Road, Neutral Bay and saw a drop in on-board cash sales from 12% to 4% and average loading times were reduced from 50 seconds to 36 seconds. This involved the sale of single ride magnetic tickets off the bus by staff at State Transit's ticketing booth at Watson Street during the morning peak.
- Druitt Street - The outbound Druitt Street bus stop was trialled as a PrePay Only bus stop between the hours of 3.30pm and 6.30pm. This initiative aimed to reduce passenger loading time at the stop and improve on-time service running for the trip.

Ticket Vending Machines (TVM's) have been installed outside the Carrington Street TransitShop at Wynyard and at Bondi Junction Interchange. These machines issue single ride magnetic tickets and the Bondi Junction TVM issues Pensioner Excursion Tickets also.
