The story in The Canberra Times about privacy concerns re the OPAL card in NSW should be used by newsagents to drive traffic and sales in their businesses. @CartwheelPrint provided this advice on Twitter with a link to the news story:
Buy your Opal ticket from Newsagents & DON’T link it to your bank account, was 1st thing I told pals.
This is a marketing opportunity for newsagents – even though the margin on top ups as set by the State Government is appalling and disrespectful.
