Sydney. Vending machines sell single trip tickets. The ticket is a RFID
chip ticket but the loop and chip are in paper, not plastic.

Station staff in Sydney no have no revenue function at all anymore. They
can not sell or check tickets. Some more 'enthusiastic' staff will
assist the public to operate the vending machine, but that's about it.
