"As a traveler from the States, navigating Sydney's ferries and trains was surprisingly easy. The real-time alerts and easy top-up feature gave me total peace of mind while exploring the city."
"This is the gold standard for transit apps. I set up auto top-up once and haven't had to think about it since. The trip planner is incredibly accurate, especially for catching the light rail."
