Sorry folks this only applies to New South Welshmen and folk from the ACT over a certain age - a very exclusive group.
If you have a Gold Senior/Pensioner Opal Card you can tap into public transport services across Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Hunter, Illawarra and Southern Highlands capped at $2.50* a day, no matter how much you travel.
The website tells us "With Opal you can travel on the following services: All Sydney Trains, All NSW TrainLink Intercity services, All buses in Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Hunter and Illawarra, All Sydney Ferries and the Stockton Ferry in Newcastle and Light rail.

Thanks Jill. Just found this one for interstate 'seniors' https://www.opal.com.au/en/about-opal/opal_for_interstate_seniors/
Jill, other Aussie Seniors/pensioners can get this too - it's just a lot of kerfuffle to do so, and is only valid for a few months. I know I got one for mum, Peter and me last year. A good reminder to do mine after Xmas.Carmel's also on it ;)
