Can I use Amex for Sydney buses?
You can use your American Express Card on public transport on the Opal and Translink network. This includes all eligible trains, buses, metro, rail services, ferries and light rail services across New South Wales and Queensland.
What card is used for public transport in Sydney?
The Opal card is an easy, convenient way of paying for your travel on public transport in Sydney. It can be used on all public transport, including trains, ferries, buses and light rail.
Can I tap with the credit card instead of the Opal?

Contactless payments are available on all public transport in the Opal network. Reduced travel fares are not currently available using contactless payments.
Should I bring cash to Australia?
If you're using a credit card, note that Visa and MasterCard are universally accepted in Australia; American Express and Diners Club are less common; and Discover is not used. Always carry a little cash, because many merchants will not take cards for purchases under A$15 or so.
