. Buses are painted in a distinctive red livery. All route numbers are prefixed with an "M", and follow the Sydney bus route numbering system, with the exception to the cross-CBD routes.

History

The network originally operated along bus trunk routes through the inner suburbs, but passed through the CBD rather than terminating there. This reduced overcrowding on the trunk routes without needing to layover extra buses in the CBD. This concept was later diluted with the network's expansion to include long distance routes servicing major activity centres in the greater western suburbs.

The first route, M10 began operation on a 12-month trial basis on October 12, 2008, during this period 9 regular buses and 6 new high-capacity metrobuses with different seating arrangements serviced the route.

In March 2009, the NSW government announced the expansion of the metrobus network with the addition of four further routes serving the inner suburbs (M20, M30, M40, M50).

On July 20, 2010, Transport Minister John Robertson
