local transport network.

Apple Pay is accepted on trains, buses, ferries and light rail across the Opal and Translink South East Queensland networks. With your credit or debit card in Wallet, you can easily get around using just your iPhone or Apple Watch. And you’ll still receive the same Adult Opal fare benefits.

Use Apple Pay anywhere you see:
