Sydneysiders will pay no more than $50 a week for trips on trains, buses, ferries and light rail under an election promise by the NSW government.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the Liberals will slash the weekly travel cap on Opal cards by about 20 per cent if re-elected on Saturday.
'Public transport is a significant cost for regular commuters and we want to make it more affordable,' Ms Berejiklian said in a statement on Monday.
