The tram links Central railway station with Haymarket, the Darling Harbour tourist and conference precinct, Pyrmont (including the casino), Glebe and Lilyfield.
As the system is not integrated with the major public transport services, fares are NOT included in public transport multi-journey tickets. Holders of all-day multi-journey tickets such as "day tripper" and "pensioner
excursion tickets" will be required to pay separate fares if they use the tram. Sydney Buses operate to most of the locations served by the tram (including route 443 to casino area and routes 431 and 433 to Glebe), but bus travel is included in the multi-journey tickets.
However the tram provides an interesting experience. Short people and amputees would find the seats comfortable but larger persons and those whose legs accompany them on their travels, may find the seating awkward and uncomfortable. An alternate view is that the tram doesn't travel very far so the discomfort is not prolonged. Some of the trams carriages are covered with advertising. Passengers can peer though the matrix of holes in the advertising material so that there is some opportunity to see the view. If the view is important to you, it is suggested that you wait for a carriage without advertising affixed to the windows.
Once upon a time, Sydney transport services included vehicles which travelled along rails often, but not always, on or alongside public streets. Originally horsedrawn and later powered by overhead electric vables, the systems were called "tramways" and the vehicles cslled 'trams".
Tramways were removed to placate motor vehicle drivers who objected to trams taking up road space. And then forty years later, the city permitted reintroduction of vehicles powered ny overhead electric cables and travelling along tracks, partly on public streets. Although the consortium which constructed the system prefers the name 'light rail", Sydney people known that a tram by any other name is still a tram. So we call it "the tram"!
