Day Passes
A casualty of the takeover was the one day pass on the Sydney Explorer which was no longer valid. This used to allow travellers unlimited use on the Sydney and Bondi Explorer buses, it also allowed free travel on regular Sydney Buses within the blue travel zone up. Today the Explorer has a 24 or 48 hour 'hop-on, hop-off' ticket valid on the Explorer service but there are also various combination tickets available with ferries and attractions. The Sydney Explorer now stops at 34 different locations in Sydney at 15 to 20 minute intervals.

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or passes:
“If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal—that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
