Family fares

The Family Fare deal does not apply for travel on CountryLink services, Sydney Buses special event services, Sydney Ferries cruises, private ferries, Metro Light Rail services or the Sydney Monorail. Children must be under 16 years of age or hold a Senior Secondary Student NSW Transport Concession Card.

If you are travelling on a Sunday, you may wish to consider Family Funday Sunday tickets.
