Light Rail / Tram fares now available for Opal #15

Closed micolous closed 9 years ago

micolous commented 9 years ago

The Light Rail / Tram system now has Opal, as at December 1. Fare information:

https://www.opal.com.au/en/fares-and-benefits/fare_information_light_rail/

Fares appear to be calculated "as the crow flies" distances between stations. The given example of Central - Glebe is approximately 4.5km by rail, but 1.8km point-to-point.

The advertising is misleading -- it doesn't take into account the weekly ticket (23$) or former annual ticket (948$). Both of these tickets allow travel in all "zones".

If you travel to Central from further than Jubilee Park, this is a >3km journey and now costs more on Opal (28$/wk instead of 23$/wk on weekly paper tickets).

Old ticketing details:

I'm now actively working on implementing this. Not super straightforward, though, since the old and new light rail zones don't match.

Implemented and pushed! Both paper and Opal/distance fares should be accurate now.
