To get an Opal card, you need to go online, make a phone call or fill out a form at the Batemans Bay Service NSW centre and await its arrival in the mail.
Customers can order a new Opal card by calling 13 67 25 or by visiting opal.com.au.
Opal Cards are also stocked at Batemans Bay Newsagency, according to www.retailers.opal.com.au.
Eligible seniors and pensioners can apply for a Gold Opal card to access the $2.50 daily cap fares.
The Gold Opal card offers a significant discount and a customer’s eligibility needs to be verified and is not available from retailers such as newsagents or convenience stores.
Although the Opal electronic ticketing system has not been rolled out in the Eurobodalla, those catching a train from Nowra to Sydney will need an Opal card.
The electronic ticketing has been rolled out to Sydney Trains, NSW TrainLink Intercity services, metropolitan and outer metropolitan buses, Sydney Ferries, Sydney Light Rail and Newcastle buses and ferries.
