Route 500 is a high-frequency bus route operating along Victoria Rd.
There were formerly two variants of the route, both running between the City and Top Ryde. The regular variant was numbered 500 and started from Circular Quay, stopping at all stops to Top Ryde. There was also a PM peak variant, numbered X00, which started from Harrington Street near Grosvenor Street (stop 2000166) and ran express between Kent St, City and Lyons Rd, Drummoyne. Both routes served as short workings of the 520/M52, which extended further west to Parramatta.
In late January 2021, as part of a restructure of routes in Region 7, both variants were changed. The regular variant is now numbered 500X and runs limited stops between West Ryde and City - Hyde Park. Night services run as route 500N and make all stops between Parramatta and City - Hyde Park.
