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 February 2020. We decided at that time that the Government could increase fares by an average of 5% per year for the following four years.
We are currently reviewing Opal fares in order to make a determination that will apply until June 2028. Please see the review page for more details, including how you can have your say.
