How much is a train ticket?
It depends on where you are going to and how you pay! The cheapest way is via Opal Card or tapping
your Visa, Master, or Amex card directly on the gate (it’s called a
“contactless payment”). You can
purchase a single ticket at a ticket machine, but that is a bit more expensive.
The ticket to or from an Airport station comprises a Gate
Pass and a rail component. The Adult Gate Pass is $17.70, or $17.34 when using
an Opal Card or a contactless payment. The Child Gate Pass is $15.60 or $15.50 via Opal or Contactless. These amounts are added to a rail ticket.
It is always useful to use https://transportnsw.info/ which
will indicate the fare.
