Rollout of Contactless Payments on Bus Services

Contactless transport payments were rolled out in 2019 to all Opal-enabled buses.

If you tap with your credit or debit card you now receive the same fare and travel benefits of an Adult Opal card, including the weekly travel reward, transfer discount and off peak pricing. You can also use your mobile wallet on your smartphone, tablet or wearable device that is linked to your American Express, Mastercard or Visa card.

This data contains the bus regions and operators that are CTP enabled, and will be updated as new operators come on board.

Note that Contract ID in this data will align with GTFS agency_id.

Note: from Sep 23 all STA Buses have contactless payments enabled. This dataset will no longer be updated, the list uploaded on Sep 23 is final.
