Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the coalition will slash the weekly travel cap on Opal cards by about 20 per cent if re-elected on Saturday.
"Public transport is a significant cost for regular commuters and we want to make it more affordable," Ms Berejiklian said in a statement on Monday.
"We expect around 55,000 commuters will benefit from the lower cap, with thousands to save up to $686 a year."
The cap, currently $63.20, will be reduced from July 1.
