Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! Finally, we have received information that the Powerhouse Museum, which we briefly introduced, will be closed for three years due to renovation work, so we would like to inform you of this. About the Opal Card (with correction) ---------------------------------------------------------- The Opal Card is a rechargeable IC card that can be used on Sydney's public transport. It is very convenient because you can use this one card on all buses, trains, light rail (streetcars), and ferries. You can also get on and off with a credit card with an IC chip (VISA/Master/Amex), but with the Opal Card, there is a fare limit for one day, one week, and one weekend, so once you reach that limit, you will not have to pay any more, so it is very advantageous. There are also discounts during non-rush hours. There are also Opal Cards for children and seniors, but we have not yet confirmed the terms of use, so we cannot provide any information here. Please wait a while. * Correction * Even if you use a credit card with an IC chip, the same system as the Opal Card applies, so there is no loss in using a credit card. However, only the Opal Card for children and seniors will receive the benefits. The Opal Card can be purchased at the information desk inside the Sydney International Airport train station. You can also purchase and charge your Opal Card at the cash register of any store that has an Opal Card flag, such as a convenience store or Newsagency (a convenience store-like store that sells newspapers and magazines). When you purchase the card, you will be asked how much money you want to put in. The minimum amount is $20. Once you put in the money, you can use it right away. There is no issuance fee. If you just want to charge your card, you can easily do so at the machines in the train premises and light rail stations. The actual charging method is explained at 6 minutes into the video "I'm Going to Sydney". **Tap on! Tap off! Don't forget! Inspectors sometimes board the train to check. If you forget to tap on and get on the train and are found out, you will be fined, so be careful.** About Opal Card Discounts-------------------------------------------------- (I will translate this into Japanese later.
