commuting to Sydney CBD from Northern Beaches Suburbs

[Guest CaptainCook]

Hi - I am after some help planning my commute into CBD from the northern end of Northern Beaches i.e. Mona vale and up?

 

I see there are quick buses (L90) which do the journey. Is this the best way, or do people go via another route? Any experience of this would be useful, especially if there are any gotchas, such as the bus is packed between 7-8AM, so you may as well not bother... etc.

 

Also - a dense question, but how do buses 'work' - do you just get on and pay, or do you need to prepay or do you need some kind of bus pass, if so - how do you get them?

 

But really, any commuting advice into Sydney CBD is appreciated

 

Thanks in advance!
