Getting to the Australian Open isn't exactly possible for most people in Australia amidst COVID life, but a technology initiative might just get you closer.

It's been a long time coming, but the NSW-based Opal card now works not just across trains, ferries, and light rail, but also bus services, too.

The next time you take a train or ferry in Sydney, you might be able to tap on using your phone, debit, or credit card, and can leave the Opal at home.

Not sure if you want to give your kids access to a full bank account and card to pay for things? There's now an interesting take which is prepaid and wearable.

Left your Opal card at home? Tapping on and off on Sydney's train network has been made a little easier.

Sydneysiders have been forced to adopt the Opal card, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy or liked by everyone. Fortunately if they have contactless payments, they have tap on transport sorted.

Dear CommBank, Westpac, St George, and the other banks that refuse to join Apple and Android Pay, a moment of your time: please use this year to grow up.
