Public Transport
To facilitate safe and timely egress The Laneway Festival will implement a free-of-charge
shuttle bus system transporting patrons from Balmain Road to the City – Town Hall. Shuttle
buses will operate between 21:00hrs. - 24:00hrs. The round trip from Callan Park to the city
set-down is approximately 6.5km and is expected to take an average of 12 minutes.
The following is a breakdown of services (TBC in consultation with Transport – Sydney Buses,

A total of 18 buses will be available, many (but not all) of which would be ‘bendy’ buses with a
larger capacity. Transport- Sydney Buses supervisors will be on site to oversee the operation 2 x at 20:30 - 24:00, 1 x 21:30 - 23:30 (exact number TBC).
The shuttle bus service will be advertised on all forms of marketing and will be strongly
encouraged by the Laneway Festival. Considering the frequency of service and the quantity of
buses, Assure proposes that the buses for this service utilise the existing STA bus stop in EB
direction on Balmain Road. To facilitate this operation the event organiser will utilise
VMS messages during egress.
