Let's put it this way - the following is everything that is included on
the Pass and their individual costs if you did them as single units :

Airport Train to City - AUD11.00 each way
Ten Trip Bus Ticket good for up to 9 zones - AUD21.00
Single Bus Trip Cash payments - City/Short Trip zones - AUD1.70
Single Bus Trip cash payment - Medium trip 2-9 Zones - AUD2.60
Morning Harbour Cruise (City area only) - AUD18.00
Afternoon Harbour Cruise (Extended to Harbour & City) - AUD24.00
Evening Harbour Cruise - AUD22.00
A one day Sydney Explorer (Hop on Hop Off City area highlights)
costs AUD36.00
A one day Bondi & Bay Explorer ticket (Hop on Hop Off) AUD36.00
Single Ferry trip Circular Quay to Zoo - AUD4.80 (AUD9.20 return)
Single Ferry trip Circular Quay to Manly - AUD6.00 (AUD12 return)
Single Short Trip/City Area Train Trip cash - AUD2.80

Considering the Sydney Pass allows unlimited Bus, Train and
Ferry travel for the life of the Pass as well as unlimited use
over the life of the pass for the Explorer hop on, hop off buses,
it's good value. More so if you had actually planned to do a
cruise or two and do the sightseeing hop on, hop offs. The
pass allows you to do half day of one Explorer and resume the
rest of the course on another day - a single day pass is good
just for one day as example.
