Opal fares will go up by 2.4 per cent from 3 July 2017, while other benefits remain.
The impact on an average customer of the price rise is approximately 50 cents a week, with fare adjustments to move in line with inflation:
- Limited 2.4 per cent CPI only increase to Opal fares
- Gold Opal remains at $2.50 all day travel
- Popular $2 ‘Transfer Discount’ to remain
- Child/Youth and Concession Opal card customers retain a ‘Transfer Discount’ of $1.
Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance said using public transport is still a much cheaper option than driving.
“Our transport network has proven to be an easy, convenient and reliable system and we’re continuing to see increased demand across all modes of transport,” Mr Constance said.
