Metrobus is a high frequency, high capacity public transportation network in Sydney that links key employment and growth centres. Metrobuses run every 10 minutes during peak periods, 15 minutes during off-peak weekday periods, and 20 minutes on weekends, with the intention of making timetables obsolete. All articulated high-capacity metrobuses can carry up to 115 passengers and are equipped with on-bus next stop displays and digital voice announcements, air conditioning and digital CCTV for enhanced security.

Services are largely integrated with the public transport network of Sydney. Buses are painted in a distinctive red livery. All route numbers are prefixed with an "M", and follow the Sydney bus route numbering system, with the exception to the cross-CBD routes.

History

Metrobus blade stop sign at Chester Hill. This sign features the name of the stop and a red lower section indicating that the stop is served by metrobuses.

The network originally operated along bus trunk routes through the inner suburbs, but passed through the CBD rather than terminating there. This reduced overcrowding on the trunk routes without needing to layover extra buses in the CBD. This concept was later diluted with the network's expansion to include long distance routes servicing major activity centres in the greater western suburbs.

The first route, M10 began operation on a 12-month trial basis on October 12, 2008, during this period 9 regular buses and 6 new high-capacity metrobuses with different seating arrangements serviced the route.

In March 2009, the NSW government announced the expansion of the metrobus network with the addition of four further routes serving the inner suburbs (M20, M30, M40, M50).

On July 20, 2010, Transport Minister John Robertson announced eight new Metrobus routes to be rolled out in 2011 to service suburbs in Sydney's west, north, north-west, south and south-west (M41, M52, M54, M60, M61, M90, M91, M92).

Tickets and fares

Metrobus services are integrated with the MyZone system. All STA metrobus services use the Automated Fare Collection System to validate tickets. Metrobus routes M10, M20, M30, M40 and M50 are full-time pre-pay only services and require commuters to purchase a ticket before boarding the bus.

Routes

M10: Leichhardt to Maroubra Junction

Operated by State Transit Authority

M10 runs from Leichhardt to Maroubra Junction via Parramatta Road, Town Hall Station and Anzac Parade. The Route 10 metrobus service connects passengers to CityRail stations at Central, Town Hall and Museum stations and Metro Monorail stations at The Galeries Victoria. It also allows passengers to transfer to regular buses to outer suburbs of Sydney at major transport interchanges such as Broadway, Railway Square, Sydney Town Hall, Museum, Cleveland Street, and Kingsford.

On 28 December 2008, Metrobus Route 10 services was modified to terminate and start from Norton Street, Leichhardt Town Hall instead. The Route 10 services no longer operate between Leichhardt Town Hall and MarketPlace, Leichhardt nor stop at bus stops at Cromwell Street and Elswick Street due to issues raised by Leichhardt Council regarding bus parking in Lords Road at the MarketPlace terminus. On 14 November 2010, Metrobus Route 10 services were extended to the corner of Norton Street and William Street at Leichhardt Pioneer Park.

On 26 October 2009, Route 10 was extended from Kingsford to Maroubra Junction.
