The first service from Circular Quay to Parramatta was on December 9, 1993. It was intended that the Rivercat service would be a major mode of transport from Sydney to Homebush Bay.
Today the service generally operates during off-peak periods and at weekends. Services used to run express to Rydalmere, resulting in a 50-minute trip either way, but today takes nearly a 90 minutes as it generally operates as an all stops service.
It is a great way to see the western harbour and the Parramatta River on a budget.
Below is a special feature from the December 9, 1993, edition of The Daily Telegraph Mirror.
