The truth about Opal: what NSW transport users need to know

There have been reports that people must switch to Opal, a prepaid card, in order to use public transport in NSW from tomorrow, 1st September 2014.  

This is not true.  People are being misled by both the State Transport Minister and newspapers like the Sydney Morning Herald.

It is true that 14 ticket types are being retired but you CAN STILL BUY other paper tickets like MyMulti Weekly.

If the Sydney Morning Herald had done their research they would know this, but instead they are trying to mislead the public.

The Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian has also told a lie.  Transport is NOT cheaper under Opal, not for those who use it beyond a daily return trip.  It would cost significantly more.

I'm keeping MYMULTI until paper tickets completely disappear, which is NOT the case tomorrow
