Opal Card

An Opal Card is a contactless electronic ticketing system used for public transportation in Sydney and surrounding areas. It’s a reusable smart card that you load with money or travel credit, allowing you to tap on and off buses, trains, ferries, and light rail services. The system automatically calculates the correct fare based on your journey, often offering discounts compared to paper tickets. Using an Opal Card streamlines travel, reduces the need for cash, and provides detailed trip and expenditure information. It’s a convenient, efficient way to access Sydney’s public transport network.
