There are no top-up machines available at the majority of Sydney's light rail network stops. Therefore this app is useful for topping up your card before travelling. Opal cards are accepted by bus, train and light rail networks throughout the system. Opal cards are not accepted on aircraft. Ensure a smooth, efficient, safe and comfortable journey by using the Opal travel app.

Great app, it has transformed how I use public transport. This app allows me to top up my Opal card and plan my trips. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't display all bus services until I turn off the on demand search in settings. On Demand is a default setting, so EVERYTIME I access the app, I have to turn it off.

Timetables are so wrong. I've missed trains. Update * I understand that this is regarding the timetable but it's still apart of the app. The app should be accurate. I have submitted feedback twice now and the timetable is still incorrect. I'm not sure how the app for Sydneys transport can be incorrect while a 3rd party app is accurate.
