There are two types of bus lanes in Sydney; Bus Lane - For use by taxis, hire cars (Not rentals), motorcycles, bicycles, emergency vehicles and special purpose vehicles and vehicles also operated by or under the direction of Roads and Maritime Services. Bus Only Lane - For the exclusive use of buses and authorised special purpose vehicles. These are often used at traffic lights to allow buses to overtake queued traffic. Many of them are operational for 24 hours, or during the peak hour. Cameras are often set up along bus lanes and drivers who break rules by driving along bus lanes at dedicated times are fined. Dedicated bus only roads include a separate road in Moore Park which shadows parts of Alison Road and Anzac Parade, as well as dedicated roadways at the centre of M2 Hills Motorway and T-ways. Sydney has three operating transitways (or T-ways): The Liverpool–Parramatta T-way, opened in 2003 The North-West T-way, opened in 2007 Bennelong Bridge, opened in 2016 These T-ways can only be used by buses or authorised T-way vehicles. Cameras have been set up along the three T-ways and vehicles without authorised access are fined. For Bennelong bridge, separate fines apply to cyclists using the T-way instead of the adjacent shared pedestrian path on the bridge. Ticketing and fares The bus network uses the smartcard-based Opal ticketing system. Opal is also valid on metro, train, ferry and light rail services but separate fares apply for these modes. Opal's bus fares are the same as those for light rail but the fares are not combined when interchanging between the two modes. Bus drivers also sell non-smartcard Opal single trip tickets - however this facility has been withdrawn from bus regions 4, 7, 8 and 9. The single trip tickets are more expensive than the standard Opal fare. They are only valid for travel on the bus service on which they are purchased. The following table lists Opal fares for
