Fare setting

Government-owned services

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) regulates maximum fares charged on CityRail train services, Sydney Ferries’ services, and timetabled bus services operated under service contracts with the Director-General of Transport.

Reports on fare-setting for government-owned services can be found on the IPART website Link to external site.

Other services with regulated fares

IPART also makes recommendations about the maximum fares that may be charged on private ferry services – other than those that do not have regulated fares, such as the fast ferry services between Manly and Circular Quay – and maximum taxi fares. These fares are then determined by the Director General of Transport.

Services that do not have regulated fares

Fares for the light rail, monorail and some private ferry services – like the fast ferry services between Manly and Circular Quay – do not have regulated fares. This means that the operator of the service decides what to charge.

However, from 1 July 2011, MyMulti tickets, the Pensioner Excursion Ticket and Family Sunday Funday tickets may be used on the light rail service.
