3. Budgeting Solo Travel & the Opal Card Secrets
From Sydney Airport (SYD), taking the Airport Link train is fast but incurs a high station access fee. To save up to 70% on transit, take the public bus 420 to Mascot station, and transfer to a standard train line from there.
Get an Opal Card for public transit. On Sundays, you enjoy a daily fare cap of just $2.80 AUD for unlimited ferry, train, and bus rides. Pack warm, light layers as winter evenings can get chilly.
