A woman filmed allegedly racially abusing another woman on a Sydney bus has been charged over a series of race-related incidents on buses and trains across the city.

The 55-year-old was charged with six counts of common assault and two of using offensive language after spitting on a teenage girl as she boarded a train at Parramatta on Friday morning, police say.

She also allegedly spat at several others at Edgecliff, Bondi and Hornsby and was on Wednesday filmed hurling racist abuse at Chinese-Australian bus passenger Lindsay Li.

She is due before Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.
