context_page_description: Buses account for close to six per cent of trips each day in the Australian city of Sydney, New South Wales, forming a key part of the city's public transport system. The network initially evolved from a privately operated system of feeder services to railway stations in the outer suburbs, and a publicly operated network of bus services introduced to replace trams in the inner suburbs. The bus network has undergone major reform in recent years, with the New South Wales Government taking responsibility for route and fare-setting, opening contracts for most routes up to competitive tendering, and introducing more cross-regional services.
  The New South Wales Government's transport authority, Transport for NSW, administers the various bus networks in Sydney.
  Commuter bus services including Metrobus and On Demand routes.
  NightRide, a network of train replacement services that operates each night between midnight and 5am.
  Sydney Olympic Park bus routes, a network of nine routes used to convey passengers to major events at the precinct
  School buses.
  The networks, except the Olympic Park and On Demand routes, are part of Transport for NSW's Opal ticketing system.
