Sydney's public transport network runs on a smartcard system called Opal (www.opal.com.au).
The card can be obtained (for free) and loaded with credit (minimum $10) at numerous newsagencies and convenience stores across Sydney. When commencing a journey you’ll need to touch the card to an electronic reader, which are located at the train station gates, near the doors of buses and light-rail carriages, and at the ferry wharves. You then need to touch a reader when you complete your journey so that the system can deduct the correct fare. You get a discount when transferring between services, and after a certain number of journeys in the week, and daily charges are capped at $15.80 ($2.70 on Sundays). Weekly charges are capped at $63.20. You can use the Opal card at the airport train stations, but none of the aforementioned bonuses apply.
You can still buy single tickets (Opal single trip tickets) from machines at train stations, ferry wharves and light-rail stops, or from bus drivers. These are more expensive than the same fare using the Opal card, so there's not much point unless you don't think you'll use $10 worth of transport during your Sydney stay.

You can purchase a child/youth Opal card for those aged four to 15 years; they travel for half price. For student and pensioner discount Opal cards, you have to apply online.
You can also use contactless credit/debit cards on train, light rail and ferry services, but you won't get discounts for off-peak travel or transfers.
