Taylor-made transport for Eras Tour

Public Transport was the way to go, with more than 478,000 trips taken on a train or bus to and from Sydney Olympic Park for Taylor Swift I The Eras Tour and Blink 182 concerts.  
 
Over the past four days, 554 extra trains and 720 major event buses moved around 59,000 passengers each night. 
 
Central Station was awash in ‘Lavender Haze’ across the four days, while many passengers chose the ‘Tay Tay Express’ to Olympic Park and got to listen to hit songs by Taylor Swift on their journey.  
 
Just under 196,000 people chose trains to get them to and from the concert over the four nights, while more than 43,000 people hopped on a major event bus.  
 
Taking on learnings from major events like FIFA Women's World Cup and Harry Styles, the teams at Transport were putting plans in place months in advance to ensure we could safely move around 100,000 people each night to and from the area, whether it be on a train, a bus or on the road network.  
 
A train or bus every three minutes after the concert was able to clear crowds within about an hour and a half each night.  
 
Roads around Sydney Olympic Park were busy leading up to 6pm each night but cleared quickly after as people planned ahead and arrived early.  
 
A big thank you to passengers for remaining patient and to the hundreds of Transport staff were on the ground each night, helping passengers get to where they needed to go.
