Sydney buses heading to and returning from the western and north-west of the greater Sydney area terminate next to the Queen Victoria Building near Town Hall in the city, as well as Circular Quay.

To get to the Northern Beaches and other north Sydney suburbs, there are buses leaving and returning to Wynyard on a regular basis during the day and more infrequently late at night.
