Firefly Coach (Cheap Bus) from Sydney to Melbourne

I found this overnight bus to be decent priced and has great timing since I could just sleep on until morning. Just a bit concerned over the safety of my stuff when I am sleeping and wondering if anybody has any experience on using this.

I know a lot of people will say I should be flying instead of taking an overnight bus, however the price difference of flying vs bus on a friday night could be heaps, especially after taking into account the trip to and from each airport.

      Ive seen it for as low as $50.

    time Vs money paid… not worth it.

  • Not much difference from a cheap flight. Should be few problems with your belongings, keep valuables in your pocket anyway.

    So if Flights plus the cost of travel to and from the Airport are expensive, why not consider a Train from Central to Southern Cross?

    You can buy secure travel wallets, such as these, to keep your money safe:

    Otherwise, I don't think the people on the coach will be any more dishonest than those in economy class on a cheap flight.
