Travel passes: Opal cards, and credit or debit cards
To use public transport, you will need an Opal Card or any eligible credit or debit card (including those linked to your phone wallet). If you “tap on” and “tap off” using a credit or debit card, this is the same as using an Adult Opal card. Make sure you use the same card to tap on and off.
International students over 16 need to use an Adult Opal card, which you can purchase from most convenience stores and newsagents.
Domestic students studying fulltime (at least 20 hours per week face-to-face) can apply online for a concession card.
