Opal Card Daily Fare Cap in Sydney
The daily cap on Opal card fares in Sydney is $20.80 on weekdays and $10.40 on weekends and public holidays.
This means:
- Once you reach the daily cap, all further travel on that day is free
- The cap resets at 4:30 AM each day
- It applies to all public transport modes: trains, buses, ferries, and light rail
- You get the best fare automatically—no need to do anything
Weekly cap: If you travel every day, you'll pay a maximum of $50.60 per week (Monday to Sunday).
