Opal Bus Passes

Eligible school students can 'tap' into Opal with the School Opal card from the beginning of Term 1 2016. 

Consignments of School Opal cards for students who had a travel pass in 2015, and are eligible for travel in 2016 under the School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS), should arrive at schools from 27 January 2016.

However, certain eligible students will need to apply for a School Opal card. These are : 
- students changing schools or campuses, 
- students updating personal details, 
- students going from year 2 to 3 or from year 6 to 7, and
- new applicants or students who have not yet applied.

Parents or guardians of these eligible students who have already submitted an online application will have their School Opal cards posted to their home address in the first two weeks of term one 2016. Parents or guardians, of these eligible students who have not already applied, should be directed to apply online at  transportnsw.info/school-students.
