Opal card holders across the entire Sydney Transport network can now enjoy unlimited transport across the network for only $2.50 on Sundays thanks to a new brochure now being distributed and available at rail stations.
The 12-page brochure Opal Card Customer Roll Out (TfNSW General T1 RAIL 14.01.14) - promises unlimited travel to Opal users for $2.50 on Sundays.
Page 4 of the brochure - see pdf image - says:
Sunday $2.50 Travel Cap
A $2.50 cap on Sundays applies to Opal card customers - travel all you want on any mode of transport and pay no more than $2.50.
Theres no mention in the brochure of any exclusions or restrictions to the above statement so it obviously applies to network
wide train, bus and ferry services.
Any attempt to fine anyone relying on this widely distributed brochure would simply not stand up in Court.
Opal cards must be loaded with a minimum of $40 so its a lot of Sundays of fun ahead.
Thanks to Sydney Transport's marketing team for making it clear that Opal card holders can: ''travel all you want on any mode of transport and pay no more than $2.50'`.
Previously only pensioners and travellers with children could get unlimited travel on Sundays for $2.50.
Used mine today. return travel to Manly, then bondi junction and then chatswood all for $2.50.
Bus: You can not use the card on buses, only 3 buses in Sydney have this system at thie time (bus number 333 to Bondi junction and bondi Beach is one of them). Most buses in the City now have the card reader but non of them work now.
Train to Parramatta: you can not use this card for any where that is not supported by a Opal card reader, like paramatta, but you can go there by ferry.
