Expect major delays and disruptions across Sydney's road and public transport network on Sunday 3 August.

A public assembly across the Sydney Harbour Bridge will result in the closure of north and southbound lanes of traffic from around 11.30am to around 4pm, but may be later.

For more information see the news story.

I still have the Opal app installed and get notifications. I find the Adelaide Metro app mystifying in comparison.

Adelaide Metro have an app?

Really seems like a solution looking for a problem, especially since you can just pay wave these days

Oh, I don't know if it can be called a solution.

When I first visited earlier this year and installed it I'm pretty sure the instructions were:

  1. buy a ticket from the list of options in the app before you board

  2. Manually activate the ticket in the app once you've boarded

* Not sure the tickets you buy in app work for all modes of transport ...

In hindsight that seems easier and less confusing then I remember. But still sounds like a nightmare for newcomers.

I was surprised to hear how different the other states are. I just assumed Melbourne's system would let you use a credit card like Sydney's does, but a tourist told me yesterday that's not the case.
