Two days of free travel on the Train and Metro networks

Travel will be free for passengers on all rail services statewide including Sydney Trains, NSW TrainLink, Airport Link and Metro from Thursday 31 July to Friday 1 August inclusive.

From 12.01am Thursday 31 July to 11.59pm on Friday 1 August 2025, travel will be free on all Sydney Trains, NSW TrainLink, Airport Link, and Sydney Metro services.

Opal gates and readers at Opal enabled train and metro stations will be turned off during this fare free period meaning customers will not need to tap on and tap off.

Passengers using NSW TrainLink services during this time will be refunded but must have booked a ticket to secure their seat to travel.

However, passengers on all other services including bus, ferry, and light rail must tap on and off as normal as fares will continue to be charged.

Opal benefits will still apply to all paid journeys where customers tap on and tap off.

Passengers who use Park&Ride commuter car parks will still be able to access free parking to travel on the Opal network.
