Welcome to the Sydney Bus Museum!
Established in 1986, the Sydney Bus Museum is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation based at the historic Old Tramshed in Leichhardt. With more than 300 members, we preserve and operate one of Australia's most significant collections of historic buses, spanning over a century of transport history. For nearly 40 years, our dedicated volunteers have ensured these vehicles remain active and available for community, educational and charitable events, helping to keep Sydney's transport heritage alive for future generations.
We're open from 10am on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month.
Join us for a vintage bus ride from Town Hall to the Museum in Leichhardt.
BusFest was be held on
20 September 2026 at the
White Bay Cruise Terminal.
Thank you to all attendees, owners, operators and sponsors. Over 70 well-presented buses and coaches were proudly displayed.
Thank you for riding on our vintage buses at Transport Heritage Expo!
We carried more than 14,000 passengers across the October long weekend and are looking forward to returning in 2027.
One significant gap in our collection is a Leyland Royal Tiger Cub. We need to raise $20,000 to purchase this bus.
We are close to hitting our target, can you help us get the rest of the way there?
