What do the official public transport fares say for bus, student, 5, early in Australia?

Public transport fares in Australia, from Transport for NSW. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

Posted prices, as published by the official source. They are not individual receipts.

ProofPrice reads Transport for NSW when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.
