Conferral of authority to travel
9 Conferral of authority to travel
This clause applies to the following:
Opal cards,
a ticket, if the purchase money for the ticket is payable to TfNSW (whether directly or under a passenger service contract with the operator or under any other agreement),
an approved payment device.
It is a condition of an Opal card or ticket to which this clause applies that TfNSW is taken to confer a lawful authority to travel in accordance with any other conditions on which the card or ticket was issued.
TfNSW is taken not to confer authority to travel unless the holder of the Opal card or ticket has paid the correct fare for the travel concerned.
An approved payment device that is valid for travel in accordance with Division 3 of Part 6 of the Passenger Transport (General) Regulation 2017 confers a lawful authority to travel in accordance with any other conditions applying to the use of the approved payment device.
