Opal Card

Help your grandparents get an Opal card

Transport for NSW is encouraging customers to take five minutes this week and help their grandparents apply for a Gold Senior/Pensioner Opal card.

More than 500,000 customers are now tapping on with the Gold Opal card, making around 700,000 journeys a week.

The Gold Opal card gives customers unlimited travel across the public transport network for just $2.50* a day, as well as many other benefits.

But some customers may need a bit of help to fill in the application form online, or may not be confident talking to an Opal Customer Care representative.

If you know your Gran or Pop hasn’t yet got their Gold Opal card, it’s a good time to help them apply as the Pensioner Excursion Ticket will no longer be sold from 1 January 2016.

You will need their NSW Seniors Card, Pensioner Concession card, or DVA NSW War Widow/ers card when applying.
