On Demand travel credit

Earning and using On Demand travel credit.


How On Demand travel credit works

You can earn and use On Demand travel credit when you transfer between an Opal network service and an eligible On Demand service listed below.

Fares for On Demand services will be deducted first from your available credit in your Transport Connect account balance. Any remaining balance will be charged to your stored payment method, such as a credit card.

How to earn travel credit

  • You need to sign up for a Transport Connect account to earn travel credit.
  • Earn up to $2 travel credit ($1 for child/concession) when you transfer between a mode on the Opal network and an eligible On Demand service.
  • Transfers must be made within 60 minutes.
  • Travel credit is added to your Transport Connect account balance.
