Shoo. vs Opal Travel
Opal Travel is Transport for NSW’s own app, and the home of your Opal card. It plans trips door to door, tracks your ride and alerts you before your stop, with no ads, in English. Shoo. adds every vehicle on one map, your trip on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, step-free trips, a visitor guide, friends and family, and 17 languages. Many riders keep both: Opal Travel for the card, Shoo. for the trip.
