Hills District Services (600 Series)
Services connecting Sydney's Hills District with Parramatta and the city are numbered in the 600 series. A small number of 600 series bus routes (routes 688 to 698) are operated in the Blue Mountains and the Penrith area by the Blue Mountains Bus Company. Approximately 82 routes are numbered 600 through 698.
600 series services are operated by Hillsbus, Westbus, Hawkesbury Valley Buses and the Blue Mountains Bus Company.
Hillsbus also operates high frequency Metrobus services within the area, connecting Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills with Hornsby and Parramatta (route M60), and Sydney CBD (route M61).
Many suburbs in this area are served by the North-West T-way, a bus rapid transit service operated by Busways and Hillsbus. Bus-only lanes have recently been added to Epping Road as part of the Lane Cove Tunnel roadworks.
City "X" services operate via the Lane Cove Tunnel. They do not stop along Epping Road and mainly run during peak hours.

Famous quotes containing the words hills, district and/or services:
“And I would love you all the Day,
Every Night would kiss and play,
If with me you’d fondly stray
Over the Hills and far away.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
