Self-service ticketing technology developed by UK company 251 Parkeon has been installed across Sydney, Australia to make multimodal travel easier and more convenient for users of the Opal smart card scheme.

The company has provided 255 ticket vending and smart card recharge machines for Transport for New South Wales train, light rail and ferry terminals to issue disposable single-trip cards and enable subscribers to reload their cards via cash or card.

Parkeon developed self-service technology based on its Astreo card and cash and Galexio card-only devices for installation across the majority of train, light rail and ferry stations. The machines enable users to top-up their cards at the machines or to buy disposable cards for daily usage.

Opal has two million customers making more than 50 million trips a month taking advantage of the easier and convenient travel facilitated by the Opal smart card system.
