Sydney Bus Museum, Transport museum in Leichhardt, Australia

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.

The museum opened in 1986 in the former Tempe Bus Depot, with a formal opening in April 1988. When the State Transit Authority reopened the depot for its Metrobus operation, the museum was given space in a disused part of Leichhardt depot in 2010. It closed during the move and was officially reopened at Leichhardt by Transport Minister Andrew Constance on 1 August 2016.

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.

The museum is open to the public on the first and third Sunday of each month. It occupies a disused part of the Leichhardt depot, the site it moved to in 2010 and which was officially opened on 1 August 2016. Visitors arriving by public transport should plan around these twice-monthly opening days.

The collection includes double-decker buses from Hong Kong and London alongside vehicles from Sydney and regional New South Wales, and some of the buses have appeared in films and photo shoots. The museum is run by more than 200 volunteer members.
