Travel concessions

Transport concession cards, Concession OPAL cards, are available to domestic students at UTS College. This will give you cheaper fares when you travel on public transport when getting to UTS College. When using an OPAL Concession card, students are required to always carry their UTS College student cards.

All OPAL cards cover the following public transport:

• Sydney Trains
• Intercity Trains
• NSW Trainlink
• Busses
• Ferries
• Light Rail.

For details go to www.opal.com.au.

Only domestic students are eligible for Concession OPAL cards. International students are generally not eligible for Concession OPAL cards. If you want to travel on public transport you must apply for an Adult OPAL card.

During Orientation and Academic Preparation Week, domestic students can log into eStudent and click on the OPAL consent form. This will allow UTS College to provide your details to Transport for NSW. Once UTS College has received your consent we will send you an email to your student email account to confirm your eligibility for transport concessions.

You need to wait for our email before you can apply for a concession OPAL card at www.opal.com.au/ordercard or by calling 13 67 25 (13 OPAL) 24 hours, 7 days a week. Your Concession OPAL card will be mailed to you within 5-7 working days. You can then follow the enclosed instructions to activate your card.

Domestic students may also apply by contacting the UTS College Student Centre at studentcentre@utscollege.edu.au for an OPAL concession card.

International students must apply for an Adult OPAL card which offers a range of travel benefits including daily and weekly travel caps and a $2.50 daily cap on Sundays. For further information please visit www.transportnsw.info or www.opal.com.au.
