Several guidebooks mention the Sydney Explorer Pass as a tool to reduce the expenses of getting around Sydney. You can buy these passes online (www.sydneypass.info) or at booths at the Circular Quay. They're not cheap, and they are a waste of money.
Through the pass you can use myriad means of transportation while in Sydney - the ferries, buses, airportlink trains - as well as get discounts on major attractions. However, the pass is "activated" after you use it for the first time and will last for however long you have purchased it for (currently 3, 5, or 7 days). Even if you use it once, it will automatically deactivate itself after the preset time, regardless of how much money is left on it.
The ONLY way you recover the exorbitant cost of this pass is if you are a maniacal tourist with the boundless energy to see 20 sites each day (I exaggerate a little, but you get the idea). You are much better off purchasing transportation seperately.
