Under the Passenger Transport Act 2014, the Minister of Transport and Roads can ask IPART to determine or recommend maximum fares for public transport services.
The Minister has asked us to determine the maximum fares for Opal public transport services until 30 June 2028.
Opal fares are fares paid by passengers of train, bus, ferry, light rail, metro and ‘on-demand’ services on which an Opal card can be used. These services operate in Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, Wollongong, the Blue Mountains and Hunter regions.
