Big price increase for one city
Public transport users in Sydney will soon fork out more for their trips as Opal fares are set to increase. From July 14 most fares will be adjusted in line with the annual consumer price index movement. This means an average increase of 2.5 per cent across Opal fares and single trip tickets. Adult customers will have a new daily travel cap of $19.30 between Monday and Thursday, and $9.65 between Friday and Sunday, and on public holidays. That is an increase of 60c on weekday travel and 30c on weekends. The cap for children and concession card holders will jump to a daily weekday cap of $9.65, while the weekend and public holiday cap will hop up to $4.80. That increase is 30c on weekdays and 15c on weekends. Airport travellers will also face an increase, with the station access fee increasing from $17.34 to $17.92 for adults — a 58c increase — and from $15.50 to $16.03 for kids, seniors and concession card holders — a 53c increase. The weekly airport travel cap of $35.16 for adults and $31.51 for kids and concession card holders will increase to$36.36 and $32.58 respectively. Weekly travel caps on the network will remained capped at $50 for adults and $25 for children and concession card holders, while seniors and pensioners with a Gold Opal card will still be charged no more than $2.50 a day. Transport for NSW Secretary Josh Murray said the fare increases were necessary to help recover the cost of running the network. 'We've leveraged the discounts available to us to protect the hip pockets of those most reliant on our public transport system,' Mr Murray said. 'We've done our best to minimise the impact on passengers and the 14 July changes will see average weekly adult travel costs go up by an average of $0.50, and less than $1 for 99 per cent of passengers' Mr Murray said.
