Opal fares to be cheaper on Fridays but half-price trips after eight cut

Ticket prices will rise on average by 3.7 per cent as part of annual changes for NSW’s public transport system.

Discounted weekend fares for trips on NSW public transport will be extended to Fridays as part of an annual change to Opal ticket prices which will rise from next month by an average of 3.7 per cent, which is less than the inflation rate.

Transport Minister Jo Haylen said extending weekend fares to Fridays would mean people could travel all day on public transport for no more than $8.90, receiving a 30 per cent fare discount on metro, train, bus and light rail services. Fares for people who use Opal child, youth and concession cards will be capped at $4.45 on Fridays. The weekly travel cap will remain at $50 for adults and $25 for concession cardholders and children, while the $2.50 daily travel cap for seniors and pensioners will be unchanged.
