Ratings and Reviews
Please use “NSW” in App Name
I travel a lot and have many transit apps. Please change the name of this app from “Opal Travel” to “NSW Opal”. It would really help identify it and decrease confusion.
App is stuck in some weird “less walking” setting
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!
Trip Planner needs work
Google maps does a better job of listing Opal route options than this app does. Unlike website search, this app doesn’t let you set route options. It always picks the “fastest” route, which is often just walking. For older folks who would prefer to ride despite taking longer, this app is useless. Ended up using Uber instead of the Opal service several times!
