Dated, this 27th day of October 2014.

Explanatory note
A new Senior/Pensioner Opal smartcard is being released. The fares for the new Opal smartcard when travelling on Opal-enabled State Transit Authority and privately owned buses are the same as the existing concession fares for travel on those buses. The daily fare cap for the holders of a Senior/Pensioner Opal smartcard is $2.50 (unlike the concession daily (Monday to Saturday) fare cap which is $7.50).
Certain tickets (the monthly, quarterly and yearly periodical adult fares for MyMulti 1, 2 and 3 tickets) have not been available for purchase since 1 September 2014, and the Special (Kings Cross to Railway Square) Service ticket is no longer in use.
The object of this Order is to amend the Transport Administration (State Transit Authority—Fares) Order
2010:

(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
(c)	to omit the fares for tickets that are no longer being sold or in use, and

(d) to make clear that it is eligible holders of concessional travel passes to whom concession fares apply. This Order is made under section 85 (2) of the Transport Administration Act 1988.
