The Sydney Explorer was an Australian open top bus tourist sightseeing service operating in the Sydney central business district and Eastern Suburbs. Nowadays the company is owned by Big Bus Tours and trades as Big Bus Sydney.[1]

History

On 23 November 1980, the Urban Transit Authority commenced operating the Sydney Explorer looping the Sydney central business district. It was operated with Mercedes-Benz O305 and O405 buses that apart from being painted in red Sydney Explorer livery and having a public address system, were identical to those used in normal service.[2] In 1990, a fleet of six (later increased to eight) Pressed Metal Corporation bodied Mercedes-Benz O405 coaches were introduced.

In September 1998, the Bondi & Bay Explorer was introduced operating from Circular Quay to the Eastern Suburbs. It was operated by four Ansair bodied Scania L113CRLs painted in a blue livery.[3]

In November 2010, both services were sold to City Sightseeing who had been operating open top bus tours in Sydney since the early 2000s.[4][5]

No buses were included in the sale, with City Sightseeing continuing to operate its existing routes only with its fleet of MCW Metrobuses. From May 2012 new Anhui Ankai buses were introduced on these routes.[6] Operations initially operated under the City Sightseeing brand, before the Big Bus Sydney name was introduced in 2016.

When Ensignbus sold the City Sightseeing business in 2011, it retained ownership of the Sydney operation. In 2016, Sydney Explorer relinquished its City Sightseeing franchise and became a Big Bus Tours affiliate.[7]

- Discover: valid for 24hrs

Private Hire and Charters

Big Bus Sydney also offers the opportunity to private hire its double-decker open-top buses for social activities, brand activations, product launches, employee rewards, school groups or other events. This is a unique and exclusive way to experience the beautiful sights that Sydney has to offer, given that no other bus operator in Sydney has access to a fleet of open-top vehicles.

The best way to organise this is to reach out to its Senior National Sales Manager, Mr. Daniele Zanetti, by email. The contact details are available on: https://www.bigbustours.com/en/sydney/private-hires Previous brand activations include partnerships with Lego, Gucci, JD Sports, Popmart, Drink Prime and more.
