Our public transport fare determinations limit the fares that can be charged for travel on public transport. The NSW Government decides what fares will apply within the limits set by our determination.
We made our last Opal fare determination in November 2024. We decided at that time that the Government could increase fares by an average 2% real increase (above inflation) compared to the previous maximum fares.
For more information about maximum fares, please see our final report and determination available on the review page.
