The programme will be operational in New South Wales (NSW), with the local government implementing Opal Plus, a Mobility as a Service app within Opal system, which allows customers to plan, book, and pay for customised commuting experiences directly from their mobile devices.
This comes after the NSW government announced it will upgrade the Opal card system by investing around AUD 568 million, aiming to enable faster and more convenient public transportation for the community. Part of the investment will be used for a pilot programme for a selected number of 10,000 inhabitants and will include streamline services such as rideshare, e-bike and scooter rentals, taxis, and parking.
