CONCESSION travel on the NSW Opal public transport network is now a whole lot easier for Canberra Senior Card holders according to ACT Minister for Transport Meegan Fitzharris. 
Fitzharris says: “I’m excited to announce that Transport Canberra, in partnership with Transport for NSW, has developed a new process that automatically validates ACT seniors’ eligibility for concession travel in NSW.
“If you are over 60, a permanent resident of the ACT and working 20 hours or less each week you are eligible for an ACT Seniors Card.”
Minister for Veterans and Seniors Gordon Ramsay supports this new development and says: “Flexibility around transport is an essential part of being an age-friendly city and ensuring we develop transport around the way that people live.”
New replacements and upgrades for ACT Seniors’ Cards are available from the COTA ACT office in Hughes, or at ACT Libraries and Access Canberra shopfronts.
