The object of this Order is to amend the Transport Administration (NSW Trains—Fares and Other Charges)

(a)	to set out the daily fare cap of $2.50 under the Senior/Pensioner Opal smartcard, and
(b)	to clarify the weekly full fare ($60) and weekly concession fare ($30) caps under the Opal smartcard, and,
