On Monday Transport Minister Andrew Constance announced 3100 new weekly bus services and more than 250 new train services.
"Transport for NSW is adding more than 3300 extra weekly services to buses and trains to temporarily provide more capacity on the network," Mr Constance said.
The extra services are only temporary, to allow commuters to abide by social distancing guidelines.
All of the extra bus services are in Sydney, with a large proportion in the northern suburbs.
None of the extra rail services will be seen on the South Coast line.
A Transport for NSW spokeswoman said the targeting of the extra capacity was "driven by the latest Opal data which shows the areas that have increased demand".
"They target key transport corridors and connect people to busy employment hubs such as the Sydney CBD, Parramatta, Macquarie Park on weekdays," the spokeswoman said.
The South Coast line had constraints when it came to adding services.
"The South Coast line is also constrained in the number of trains already on the line, and there is limited ability to add more services due crewing and fleet constraints," she said.
The T4 Illawarra line, which has its southern end at Waterfall, did see some extra services and the spokeswoman said this would provide some flow-on benefits for South Coast commuters.
"The additional services added between Hurstville and the city will take some off the pressure off the South Coast services with fewer customers using these services further up the line," she said.
Labor's Transport spokesman Chris Minns backed the move to introduce extra services.
"This means peace of mind for workers who need to travel now that restrictions are easing and school is back," Mr Minns said.
"The government needs to do whatever it takes to keep our transport network safe from COVID-19."
