Hailee Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi all, I am moving to Australia (from the USA) hopefully in late March or April. My visa is currently being processed and I am just starting to do some research to prepare myself for the big move. I'm really concerned about one aspect which is transportation. I'll be first moving to Sydney and wondering what other backpackers are doing to get to and from work. Is everyone just buying a car? I can't really afford that and was hoping people had found other solutions. Thanks! PS any general advice on getting ready/preparing to move would be appreciated as well, thanks!

Who goes to work by car? Hardly anyway I know, public transport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailee Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks, that makes me feel better. I'm from California... we don't know what public transportation is out here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtongman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Sydney has buses and trains going all over the place so you should be fine. Depending on where you live cycling is another option and in the long term the most cost effective as you can sell your bike after. Im not sure how good sydney transport is, have a Oz mate who said they its not all that reliable, but dont take my word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Even if you did chose to drive you probably couldn't afford to park anywhere in Sydney on WHV money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
