Bemusing at best for 2025. You cannot use your iPhone as your Opal card (???). The app’s trip planner can’t find nearby stations nor match a partial station name. Google Maps does this trivially. All I’ve been able to do is register an Opal card, and hope that if I ever lose it then I can actually use this app to transfer the balance to a new physical card. Bonkers.
For some reason the app has started only showing me directions that minimize walking. So now if I’m trying to check timetables for my usual commute, which was usually a ferry + 30 mins walking or a bus + 20 mins walking, it’s now only showing routes that involve 5 mins or less of walking. There seems to be no place in the app to change this preference and it’s basically useless to get directions that add 30 minutes to my commute and three extra transport methods just to shave 20 mins off a walk. Super frustrating!
I really hope one day I will be able to use my Opal Card registered instead of using Visa/Mastercard that doesn’t have Weekly Travel discount.
