New york traffic bureau chief operating officer collins (Howard Collins) said on tuesday that sydney's buses, train 、 city rail and light rail will implement new Opal fares starting next monday october 5.
"In July, we announced a 50% discount on off-peak bus fares over a three-month period to help reduce congestion during the busiest hours of the day, thereby supporting physical distance and enhancing the safety of our customers and staff during the new crown epidemic ," Collins said. "
"Although the off-peak 50% discount is over, we will also offer 30% off-peak APA prices for bus and light rail passengers. Before the new crown pandemic ,(concessionary) only applies to city rail and train ."
The peak period of traffic in the new state is still:
:: Sydney train 、 Sydney City Rail, Light Rail and Bus: am–10am,3pm-7pm 6:30
:: NSW TrainLink :6am-10am ,3pm-7pm
All-day fares on Saturdays and Sundays are capped at A $8.05 for adult tickets and A $4 for passengers holding discount cards. authorities claimed the move was to spread the burden of public transport over the weekend, especially ferry traffic.
During peak hours, fares will remain unchanged, including a daily and weekly ceiling, a half of fares after eight trips a week, and a $2.5 per day unlimited ride for people holding Gold Senior/Pensioner Opal.
