AS Sydney farewells visiting naval ships, the harbour city's transport workers are being hailed for their performance in one of the biggest events the city has seen.
There were 2.3 million journeys on Sydney public transport during the October long weekend, NSW Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian said.
More than 5000 extra services were provided, as road closures and clearways required people to leave cars at home.
The Fleet Review coincided with a number of major events including the NRL Grand Final and a One Direction concert.
"Behind the scenes there was tremendous work by a number of hardworking teams making sure Sydneysiders and visitors could move around seamlessly," Ms Berejiklian said.
The Fleet Review also made for a busy period for the Australian National Maritime Museum, with more than 85,000 visitors over the nine-day celebration.
Sydney Harbour hosted 16 tall ships, about 40 Australian and international warships, aircraft displays, and of course, Prince Harry, during the commemorations to mark 100 years since the Royal Australian Navy fleet entered the harbour.
The warships - from afar as Nigeria, India and the United Kingdom - left the harbour on Friday morning.
