SYDNEY BUS ROUTES

Chronological list of routes renumbered from the 1925

Number System to the Sydney Region Route Number System
1981 – 2004

A work in progress. Corrections and comments welcome – robkit.henderson@bigpond.com

This is a summary of the renumbering of Sydney private bus routes from the older 1925 system to the newer,
geographically-based Sydney Region Route Number System between 1981 and 2004. Besides this list in
chronological order of renumbering, there is also a list in numerical order of the 1925 route numbers. The list shows
only details of each route as at the date of renumbering. Some background to the renumbering is included in the page
entitled “The Development of Bus Route Numbers in Sydney from 1925 to the Present”. Further details of each
route before and after renumbering can be found in the “Route histories” pages on this site.
