Proposed service area
Six corridors, chosen for a reason
Our proposed initial launch zone covers the part of Sydney with the highest density of short trips, the best mapping coverage and the clearest road geometry. The final service area will depend on regulatory approval and technology availability.
Phase one
The proposed initial launch zone
These corridors are contiguous, which matters more than raw size. A connected zone lets vehicles reposition between demand centres without leaving mapped territory.
Sydney CBD and Barangaroo
The commercial core. Dense, well mapped, and the origin or destination of a large share of inner Sydney trips, with strong evening and weekend demand on top of the weekday peak.
Sydney Airport and Mascot
The anchor route. Airport trips are predictable, high value and run at hours when driver supply is thinnest, particularly the early morning departures bank.
Green Square and Alexandria
One of the densest residential renewal areas in the country, with high public transport use and comparatively low car ownership. Exactly the profile that suits on-demand vehicles.
Surry Hills and Darlinghurst
Late-night demand, short trip distances and constrained parking. The area where not having to find a park is worth the most to a rider.
Potts Point and Woolloomooloo
Dense residential streets close to the CBD, with steep topography and narrow roads that make careful, mapped driving essential.
Pyrmont and The Rocks
Tourism, events and waterfront workplaces, with sharp demand peaks around the convention precinct and cruise terminals.
Why these first
Short trips, dense demand, tight loops
Trip length
Most trips inside this zone are under six kilometres. Short trips mean more rides per vehicle per day, which is what makes a small fleet feel available.
Road geometry
Mostly signalised intersections, marked lanes and consistent speed limits. Fewer unprotected turns across fast traffic than the arterial network further out.
Round-the-clock demand
Offices, hospitality, an airport and a growing residential population keep demand alive across the full day, rather than only at commuter peaks.
After phase one
How the zone grows
Expansion is earned, not scheduled. Each new corridor requires the same survey, validation and approval work as the first, and will only open once the operating record in the existing zone supports it.
1
Prove
Build an operating record inside the launch zone, and publish it.
2
Survey
Map and validate the next corridor, including stopping points and problem intersections.
3
Extend
Seek approval for the extension, then open it. Candidate corridors include the inner west, the eastern beaches and the Zetland to Randwick spine.
This page describes a proposed launch zone for a service that is not yet operating. Boundaries, timing and the corridors themselves may change as regulatory approvals and vehicle supply are confirmed.
Want your suburb in an early phase?
Waitlist signups tell us where demand actually sits. If enough people in a suburb register, it moves up the survey list.
