These visualisations feature Opal Trips for all modes of Public Transport by week, month and year. Visualisations for each of the modes show the number of ticketed trips based on operator, line, contract area (where applicable) and card type.

An Opal trip describes where an Opal or Contactless card is used to tap-on and tap-off, including where a single tap-on or tap-off is recorded. All other travel is not included.

As of 1 July 2024, the methodology for calculating trip numbers for individual Lines and Operators has changed to better reflect the services our passengers use on the transport network. The new approach applies to Train, Metro and Light Rail and will soon be extended to Ferry and Bus. Aggregations between Line, Agency and Mode levels are no longer valid as a passenger may use several lines on a single trip. Trip numbers at Line, Operator or Mode level should be used as provided without further combination.

This dataset has reports based on both the new and old methodology with reports progressively moved to the new method in the coming months. Due to the change in method care should be taken when looking at longer trends that utilise both datasets.
