The Minns government in New South Wales has announced a 30% reduction in Opal fares for Friday commuters in an effort to revitalize Sydney's CBD. The discounted fares will match the weekend rates and apply to all Opal customers. The initiative aims to encourage more people to use public transport on Fridays, which currently has the lowest patronage levels. The Friday travel cap will also be halved, meaning adults will pay a maximum of $8.90 and children and concession holders $4.45. The measure is mostly cost-neutral after a recent fare increase and has been well-received by businesses.
