Fares on Sydney public transport will increase again from next week as the annual Opal increase kicks in.
The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal locked in an average price rise of 3.6 per cent - but the weekly travel cap will remain the same.
Transport for NSW said fares for adults on train and metro trips would increase by a maximum of 49 cents, by 43 cents at most for bus and light rail trips, and by a maximum of 43 cents for a ferry trip.
Distance and travelling on or off-peak will also contribute to the fares.
For children, youths and concession card holders will increase by a top of 24 cents for trains and metro, 14 cents for bus and light rail, and 22 cents for the ferry.
Most commuters will see an increase of less than $1 a week when Opal discounts and travel caps are factored in, Transport for NSW said.
"The weekly fare cap will stay at $50 for adults and $25 for child/youth and concession card holders. Seniors and pensioners will continue to be charged no more than $2.50 per day," department secretary Josh Murray said.

"Weekend fares on Fridays will still apply, meaning Friday fares will be capped at $9.35 for all adults and $4.65 for child/youth and concession card holders for the whole day."
Short bus and light rail journey fares up to three kilometres will remain unchanged, and the transfer discount for switching between modes within 60 minutes will still apply.
The station access fee for using the Domestic and International Airport train stations will increase to $17.34 for adults and $15.50 for child/youth, concessions and senior fares.
