Explanatory note
A new Senior/Pensioner Opal smartcard is being released. The peak and off-peak fares for the new Opal smartcard for travel on Sydney Trains services are the same as the existing peak and off-peak concession fares for travel on those trains. 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 return off-peak adult fares for MyTrain 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 tickets, the weekly and fortnightly full fares for MyTrain 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 tickets, the monthly, quarterly and yearly full and concession fares for MyTrain 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 tickets, and the monthly, quarterly and yearly full fares for MyMulti 1, 2 and 3 tickets) have not been available for purchase since 1 September 2014.
The object of this Order is to amend the Transport Administration (Sydney Trains—Fares) Order 2013:

(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, 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 (1) of the Transport Administration Act 1988 (as applied to Sydney
Trains by clause 18 of the Transport Administration (General) Regulation 2013).
