History

State Transit commenced operating in October 2006 as the first full-time prepay only bus route in Sydney. [1] [2]

When Opal cards were rolled out across Sydney, route 333 became the second route to use Opal cards on 6 December 2013. [3] [4]

In September 2018, bus services in the Eastern Suburbs underwent a major overhaul which included timetable changes. As part of changes, overnight services of route 380 were replaced by route 333N which stops at all bus stops between the CBD and North Bondi. [5] [6] In 2018/19 route 333 was Sydney's busiest bus route. [7] From 24 January 2021, route 333 became a 24-hour service with route 333N withdrawn. [8] In April 2022 it was included in the takeover of Sydney Bus Region 9 by Transdev John Holland. [9]
