Opal cards are smartcard tickets you keep and reuse to pay for travel on public transport. Once you have yours, just add value, then tap on and off to travel. You can use your Opal card on metro, train, bus, ferry and light rail services.
Light rail redefines travel through the city, decongesting key routes through the CBD and linking up with important locations such as the sporting and entertainment facilities in Moore Park and Randwick, along with the University of NSW, TAFE and hospital precincts.
Light rail services run between The Star and Central 24 hours a day. This service is temporarily suspended. Overnight service frequency is every 30 minutes from 11pm to 6am on Saturday to Thursday and midnight to 6am on Fridays.
What will trips cost? While the trams will be free for the opening weekend, standard distance-based light rail Opal fares will start from Monday. (A one-way journey from the CBD to Kingsford will be the same once a branch of the line known as L3 opens in March.)
By Heckler. Sydney closed down and dug up all its tramlines between 1939 and 1962, because it was the fashion to replace tramways with buses. Sydney had a bigger tram network than Melbourne. We all think we live in a more enlightened age that would never do something that silly.
