As a person who rarely gets to Sydney and even less often uses public transport, it's unfortunate that I have to deposit money in advance into the Opal account to be able to use it and that money can remain unused for many months. In the meantime. Opal benefits from my money and I don't. Seems trivial, and it might be if this was the only system that worked this way. e.g. eTags for travelling on Sydney toll roads, which I also have to have and use even less often than my Opal card.

Trips lists are mostly not accurate. Experienced twice of a sudden logged out card in the app -tried registering it again and the app says that am locked in, which i didn't do anything with my registration or anything in the app,Called the operator to assist me. The 1st ,2nd, 3rd attemp of the operators advised didn't work, till the fourth assistance i spoke to told me that they cannot actually unlocked a locked-in card and advised me that i should buy a new opal card and register it again🙆

Hi Dionesa, we are unable to unblock Opal cards as once an Opal card is blocked, it is blocked indefinitely. Customer can request a replacement Opal card order via their “Opal account enquiries” tab within their Opal account.

not user friendly at all. easier to use a computer and book ahead and then use this to track bookings. would be great to have an interactive map to tap on the stations we want. especially for those of us who have no clue
