    NEVER happens to NSW

    • koolchamp81 on 31/12/2015 - 14:29

      because the govt is greedy…

    • ribze1 on 01/01/2016 - 11:15

      See the trend? Free transport in Labor states.

      I feel it should have been free in Sydney after midnight to help ease congestion when it comes to entering/exiting stations and buses.

    I was thinking to not go the city tonight for fear of packed car parks but if there's free public transport then Elder Park & Victoria Square here I come. :-)

    • [Deactivated] on 31/12/2015 - 09:32

      Yeah, good luck. There'll still be hordes of peeps!

      • AussieDaddy on 31/12/2015 - 10:29

        I live at Henley South so I might go to the Bay. Plenty of choice in my slow, boring town. :)

        • mochariffic on 31/12/2015 - 15:55

          We just arrived at Fulham, Henley's a lovely part of the world mate, but it's soooo hot :-)

        • AussieDaddy on 31/12/2015 - 18:15

          @mochariffic: Haha! I know, mate. It's 39 today and 35 tomorrow, but after that it will get little bit better. I hate the heat but it's that part of the year.

    OP - might be worth adding in Melbourne Metro too rather than me duplicating for Melbourne

  • first in line on 31/12/2015 - 09:55

    Look at that Opal logo

    this happens every year, is it a bargain really?

    • Mormont on 31/12/2015 - 10:05

      free is free is free !

      sounds like a bargain to sydneysiders who never get a free lunch

    • BradH13 on 31/12/2015 - 11:37

      How on earth is this not a bargain? Other cities don't have it, and Adelaide and Melbourne don't HAVE to do it…

      This will save some people upwards of $40 on taxi fares each way?

      Yeah bet it's real nice and safe where you are right? Lol

        Why yes, yes it is. Thank you for your concern.

  • Sydneyswans on 31/12/2015 - 10:50

    Why not Sydney???

    I remember there was only 1 "fare free" day in sydney in last 12 years. It was monday of an ordinary week where most of the people bought weekly ticket.

    Other cities should follow suit. Well done Melbourne & Adelaide.

  • Food on 31/12/2015 - 11:33

    A good step up from the previous free travel only from midnight. Great deal to pair with the free Zooper Dooper tickets for the cricket and free fireworks :)
    Hopefully Rail decide to run more than 2 cars on each line (especially after cricket) and not to bring the midi buses out

    • XCOM v2 on 31/12/2015 - 11:53

      each train should be mandatory 3 car tonight, that was the briefing, (work there)

      • Food on 31/12/2015 - 12:29

        Good news :) any chance you can bring a non-decommisioned jumbo for me? ;)

  • spuderump on 31/12/2015 - 11:33

    shame half of the public transport in ADL atm is either closed down (train lines) or running at half capacity… buses etc.

    Will be a disaster zone.

    • XCOM v2 on 31/12/2015 - 11:54

      none of the train lines are closed down today

  • virhlpool on 31/12/2015 - 12:15

    Why not Sydney, hey? Never?

    • [Deactivated] on 31/12/2015 - 13:19

      It's anti-Sydney day, again

    is there also free public trnasport in melbourne tonite?

  • neonlight on 31/12/2015 - 14:00

    Same thing should be done for all cities. At least give that incentive before getting rid of paper ticket

  • nephilim on 31/12/2015 - 14:27

    RAA are also running free buses between harbour town and glenelg

    • mochariffic on 31/12/2015 - 15:57

      That place looked packed when we drove past before, it could be due to retail, do you think it's a good idea to try and park there later tonight?

  • Food on 01/01/2016 - 13:30

    Waited on the 3-car train after the cricket for 30 mins for it to leave at it's scheduled time of 10:50. Packed to the brim, breathe in to close the doors, meanwhile a whole platform was getting full of people going out. They have much better organisation for footy matches (trains go as they're full) why did it have to be such a rat race today?

    • virhlpool on 01/01/2016 - 15:11

      Agree!!! And probably no arrangements to keep the buses and their seats neat and clean from garbage when so much of rush was already expected?
