    The Sydney - Melbourne does not seem to be $9.99, but Melbourne to Sydney is.

    • joelmuzz on 07/11/2025 - 08:54

      It's just sold out of discount rate for the day, other days have it.
      Limited discount seats and then it reverts to normal price.

      Good way to skip bail

  • superbird on 07/11/2025 - 09:02

    Not bad considering there is free wifi and power outlets. Could effectively “wfh” for the day.
    Better than the train which is still in the dark ages with no wifi

    • bilb123456 on 07/11/2025 - 09:03

      Any ideas how patchy the wifi is?

      • superbird on 07/11/2025 - 09:05

        Not sure but going by my personal experience driving on those highways reception is pretty good. If they use Telstra it shouldn’t be a problem

        4G speed apparently, so it’s something, but probably not best to do conference calls on.

            @caperite: Which Dylan song was that lyric from again?

            • kiitos on 07/11/2025 - 23:03

              @Meconium: It's actually a scene from the Batman x The Office crossover movie.

            @caperite: Watched someone do this recently and given the general mutterings of annoyance I and others were going to say something.

            But then the loud discussion turned to a delicate HR matter and no-one intervened because it was way too fascinating.

        • Sebajun on 07/11/2025 - 09:51

          Another good reason for not taking calls might be to be considerate of other passengers on a 12 hour bus ride? I'd go crazy if half the passengers were taking calls all day!

        Just as patchy as the cellular seeing as it runs on the same thing.

    • Mild October on 07/11/2025 - 09:08

      I can confirm the train is indeed in dark ages.

      Never had train for 2nd time across Sydney and Melbourne again.

      • Gavman on 07/11/2025 - 18:30

        I can confirm Australia are still in dark ages. We should have a high speed rail between Melbourne and Sydney. 3 hour travel. Then we might not even care about free wifi

        • Mild October on 07/11/2025 - 20:18

          Dang I never thought of this. So when is the HSR going to be happened?

    • GregRust on 07/11/2025 - 09:16

      Some might consider being uncontactable a feature rather than a bug.

        +3

        That's what I love about getting on a long-hall flight - having an excuse to be uncontactable for hours.
        They now offer wifi onboard - why the hell would I want that?!?

        (I am so middle-aged)

        • Pryda on 07/11/2025 - 12:06

          You still have to pay for the WiFi though! Even in business class BA the WiFi wasn't free for me. It's always a bit of a rip-off!

      Could effectively “wfh” for the day.

      I doubt it, unless you're just answering just text-Emails.

      I'm pretty sure it's rate-limited access too,
      and from memory Firefly Express bus (last year) had a constant, yet slow, Internet access.

      Unless the buses are going to go the Starlink route, I don't expect fast internet connections either.

      Australia are in dark ages. We should have a high speed rail between Melbourne and Sydney. 3 hour travel. If we were run by Japanese they woulda delivered this 10 years ago. Yet we still think a bus that takes 12 hrs between the cities and costs $10 is cool LOL

      • braddsey on 07/11/2025 - 20:25

        Population of Japan: ~123 million.
        Population of Melbourne + Sydney: ~11.5million
        Average number of daily commuters on Japan bullet trains: ~430K
        Average number of people who would be willing to regularly commute 3 hours each way between Melbourne and Sydney: not many.

        It will never happen. we don't have the population density, and the distances are too far.

      I might have to come and say hi now. It’s cheap…

        +2

        Yeh but those are on par with the Murray’s prices

        $9.99 is a solid promo. $41.98 after promo is still cheaper than Murray’s

      • Sydney2K on 07/11/2025 - 20:33

        Also Greyhound isn't so much to compete, but rather to have a stop for all the backpackers stopping off in Canberra from Sydney or Melbourne. COVID killed off the commuter service.

    • eltito on 07/11/2025 - 10:49

      Yep - I'm loving this, more competition is never a bad thing!

      Pity, I am leaving CBR soon, so won't be able to take advantage of the CBR -> SYD airport promo for $9.99

    Flixbus is huge in Europe, and I have loved their bus services,
    and I have been on their buses many times, in the last decade.

    I am guessing Flixbus will bring the prices down, and give Murray's more competition,
    but Firefly Express has been pretty good to me too, with their low prices between Sydney - Melbourne.

    • eltito on 07/11/2025 - 10:50

      I used Flixbus when I was in Europe and being a typical backpacker many years ago. Never had one bad thing to say about them, they always had their shit together and left on time as well. Happy they have arrived in Australia - more competition is never a bad thing

      • whyisave on 07/11/2025 - 10:52

        I used Flixbus when I was in Europe and being a typical backpacker many years ago.

        My last time was in Europe in 2023, and the service was still smooth, as I had remembered them.

      • 3atc3 on 07/11/2025 - 13:02

        Sometimes finding the bus terminal was an impossible task, but FlixBus was always prompt and affordable, unlike DB trains! Very glad they are launching in AU.

    • GerryManDerJan on 07/11/2025 - 17:09

      There's even a Flixtrain now! At least in Germany

      • kiitos on 07/11/2025 - 23:10

        Yes, used it a couple of years ago for a train from Basel to Berlin for EUR 7.99 per person! Somewhat older and more basic train than say Ouigo, but unbeatable price.

  • Liger Zero on 07/11/2025 - 09:41

    What are the seats like?

    • chibichip on 07/11/2025 - 10:08
      +1

      They look pretty plush on the website. You also have the option to nab the extra seat next to you for a fee (not sure how much) for some extra room.

      I've taken a few of these in Europe and it was a breezy experience. Though, after taking an 8 hour train ride in China earlier this year and feeling stir crazy after 3 hours, I'm not sure how much I want to do an 8 hour bus ride from Sydney to Albury 😬

      Would be fine if you sleep, i guess

      If you do a return trip, it saves you that extra $1.99 service fee as that seems to charge per booking

    I set Melbourne as the starting point and chose Brussels from the destination list.

    It said "No trips on: Fri, 7 Nov".

    I suppose they sell out fast!
