Public Transport Facility in Sydney (NSW)

 I had already wrote this article about public transportation facility in Australia. Every year many international students come here in Australia for a standard living and world class education. Among them most of international students used to be in Sydney (state capital city of NSW) rather than in other states.
So, be  familiar with modes of public transport and ticketing system in NSW.

 Sydney's public transport system features a comprehensive network of train, bus and ferry services. Light rail lines, airport links, sightseeing buses and taxi services complement the network.
To access all above transport system, you won't need to buy ticket for each one. NSW transport department has introduced a smart ticketing card called:

OPAL CARD

Opal is valid on Transport for NSW's bus, rail, light rail and ferry services that operate in Sydney and the neighboring Central Coast, Hunter Region, Blue Mountains and Illawarra areas.

A new streamlined visa process for Indian visitors to New Zealand

Tourism New Zealand and Immigration New Zealand have launched an extension of the Tourism Industry Partnership (TIP) Programme to facilitate faster processing of visitor visa applications for Indian leisure travellers. Riding on the success of the previous partnership between Immigration New Zealand (INZ), Tourism New Zealand (TNZ) and key travel agents, the Tourism Industry Partnership (TIP) Programme has now been extended to leisure agents. The previous programme was launched in November 2014 and focused on the business and incentive travel sector. It resulted in growth of incentive group trips worth NZ $ 22m in 4 years (FY14-FY17) with a 99 per cent approval rate. With this new arrangement announced today, Indian leisure travelers will benefit from a more streamlined visa service, with a faster processing time of three days, compared to the previous online application processing time of 15 days.
