Sydney Bus Museum, Transport museum in Leichhardt, Australia
Description
The Sydney Bus Museum houses buses from different decades of the 20th century inside a historic tram depot in Leichhardt. The vehicles span from the 1920s through to the 1980s and show how bus design and engineering evolved over time.
History
The museum was founded in 1986 and first operated in Tempe before relocating to its current home. Special exhibitions document how public transport played an important role during wartime periods.
Culture
The museum preserves the story of public transport, which shaped how the city grew and developed. Many machines have been carefully restored to show how people traveled for generations.
Practical
The museum opens on select days, typically the first and third Sundays of the month. Visitors should check ahead to confirm opening times match their planned visit, as these can change seasonally.
Did you know?
One special feature is the chance to ride aboard restored double-decker buses that travel across a major bridge. These rides give visitors a practical sense of what travel felt like across different eras.
