You will also miss out on the commentary and, particularly during the peak periods, have to put up with crowded buses.

One tip with the travelpass - if you purchase it after 3pm, the rest of that day won't count as part of the seven days, so you will end up with a bit more travel than you paid for.

Thanks Dave. I guess the Explorer buses do have their advantages. However, is it worth paying over $100 premium for them? I guess that depends on the individual. Also, how much does the ride between the airport and central Sydney cost if purchased separately? Couldn't really find it on the website.
