Family Funday Sunday – $2.50 per person train, bus and ferry

Every Sunday is Family Fun Day here in Sydney, Australia. Families are given a special treat in going around the city and the nearby region of New South Wales with a Family Funday Sunday ticket. For a flat fare of $2.50 per person, a family can go to Bondi Beach, Manly, Wollongong, Kiama, Cronulla, and other beaches. One can practically go around and find a Chinese, Vietnamese, Turkish, or Australian lunch in Sydney’s Suburban restaurants. If you love nature, a family can go to the Blue Mountains for bushwalking, or or simply hop-in and out in as many places within Sydney.

Of course there is a catch, the travelling group must be related by family and include at least one child and one adult. The tickets cover all-day travel on a Sunday around metropolitan and outer metropolitan Sydney, including Newcastle and Wollongong.

The ticket also applies to private bus operators in the Sydney metropolitan area, travel on the CityRail network, State Transit buses and Sydney and Newcastle ferries.
