It was renumbered as route 320 on 9 February 2020 and cut back from Botany to Mascot. Operation of the route passed from State Transit to Transit Systems with region 6 on 1 July 2018. Short-working trips were later introduced between Wynyard and Zetland. Route M20 originally terminated at Mascot, before being extended to Botany shops on 27 February 2011. It also allowed passengers to transfer to regular buses to outer suburbs of Sydney at major transport interchanges such as Queen Victoria Building and Railway Square. It connected with Sydney Trains stations at St Leonards, North Sydney, Wynyard, Town Hall and Central. Route M20 ran from Gore Hill to Botany via the Pacific Highway, Town Hall station and Botany Road, and commenced on 26 October 2009. On 25 October 2020, route M10 was withdrawn, with the western portion replaced by additional 440 services and the eastern portion replaced by 元 light rail and other bus services. It was originally proposed to abolish the City to Maroubra Junction section after the CBD and South East Light Rail was completed. On 9 February 2020, M10 was altered to run via Rawson Place, stopping at Haymarket light rail/bus stop to allow cross-platform transfer to and from L2 and 元 light rail services. On 4 October 2015, to facilitate the construction of CBD and South East Light Rail, it was altered to operate via Pitt Street, Eddy Avenue and Elizabeth Street in the Maroubra Junction direction, and via Elizabeth Street, Hay Street and Pitt Street in the Leichhardt direction. Route M10 originally proceeded up George Street before turning into Park and Elizabeth Streets. On 26 October 2009, it was extended from Kingsford to Maroubra Junction. On 14 November 2010, route M10 was extended to the corner of Norton and William Streets at Leichhardt Pioneer Park. On 28 December 2008, route M10 was curtailed to Leichhardt Town Hall no longer operating to MarketPlace due to issues raised by Leichhardt Council regarding buses laying over in Lords Road. It also allowed passengers to transfer to regular buses to outer suburbs of Sydney at major transport interchanges such as Broadway, Railway Square, Cleveland Street and Kingsford. Route M10 connected with Sydney Trains stations at Central and Museum. Route M10 ran from Leichhardt to Maroubra Junction via Parramatta Road and Anzac Parade, and commenced on 12 October 2008. Routes M10: Leichhardt to Maroubra Junction M10 M52, M54, M60 and M61 also became pre-pay during 20. Metrobus routes M10, M20, M30, M40, M50 were full-time pre-pay only services since introduction and required passengers to purchase a ticket before boarding. As of 2022, only Transdev routes M90, M91 and M92 remain but the Metrobus signage has already been removed from all red Transdev buses with all buses now operating intermixed on all routes.Īll Metrobus services use the Opal card system to validate tickets. while two others were renumbered in February 2020. ĭuring April and May 2019, as part of the opening of Sydney Metro, a number of Metrobus services were renumbered to 3-digit numerical routes, dropping the "M" prefix. Routes M10, M20, M30, M41 and M50 were included in the transfer of region 6 from State Transit to Transit Systems on 1 July 2018. This saw Hillsbus and Veolia Transport (now Transdev NSW) become Metrobus operators. In July 2010 it was announced a further eight new Metrobus routes were to be rolled out in 2011 to service suburbs in Sydney's west, north, north-west, south and south-west (M41, M52, M54, M60, M61, M90, M91, M92). In March 2009 an expansion of the Metrobus network with the addition of four further routes serving the inner suburbs (M20, M30, M40, M50) was announced. During this period nine regular and six high-capacity buses with different seating arrangements were dedicated to the route. The first route, M10 from Leichhardt to Kingsford, began operation on a 12-month trial basis on 12 October 2008. This concept was later diluted with the network's expansion to include long distance routes servicing major activity centres in outer suburbs. This reduced overcrowding on the trunk routes without needing to layover extra buses in the CBD. The network originally operated along bus trunk routes through the inner suburbs, but passed through the CBD rather than terminating there. Transdev NSW Volgren bodied Volvo B7RLE in June 2015
