Park for free when you catch public transport

https://transportnsw.info/travel-info/ways-to-get-around/drive/parking/transport-parkride-car-parks

Transport Park&Ride is designed to free-up more spaces at commuter car parks for those who want to travel on public transport.

Transport Park&Ride provides up to 18 hours free parking each day. All you have to do is complete a public transport trip by tapping on and tapping off using an accepted:

Opal card or credit/debit/Opal card linked to a Transport Connect account

Located close to public transport hubs, Park&Ride car parks help you connect more easily to train, bus and ferry services.

Real-time parking availability is now available, allowing you to see how many vacant car park spaces are available at Transport Park&Ride car parks.

We should get that as well. Hopefully, the smart ticketing objective can achieve this.

Have a look at the Sydney Urban area. there are 5 Park n Rides.  5...not every single station.  More on the outliers. again...not every station.

What do you consider "Sydney Urban are"? Because there are way more than 5 P&Rs in Sydney!

There's 5 park and rides on Sydney Metro alone (Tallawong, Kellyville, Bella Vista, Hills Showground, Cherrybrook)

Probably bad English but I didn't want to use Inner Sydney.  My point is that for vast parts of Sydney there is no PnR unlike Brisbane which is almost every station.
