I would highly recommend using the explorer bus if you are doing a day trip to the blue mountains. Both of the bus drivers were very kind and knowledgeable about the mountains, and we really enjoyed the commentary whilst riding between destinations. The buses were pretty much always on time to the minute, which was really helpful! A few of the walks were closed when we visited, to no fault of this company, but just make sure you check when planning your walks. We purchased the Lyrebird pass which included scenic world, which I would also recommend, although it is very busy with tours so get there early. The explorer bus is just such a great way to explore the blue mountains!
