No Usyd? Better start running.

Once again, USYD fall short

Same for UTS haha

There a few loopholes that I've done. Travel 1 stop on the bus to count that as one trip. Then walk back home. Lol

Holy crap so you'll go through 4 trips in 1 day? (for UNSW students with trains and buses)

god dammn so after 2 days I'm freeee

I don't think that will work for buses (at least, not like how it works with the train system): http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/frugal-op...system-for-cheaper-fares-20141125-11t4r0.html

With buses, you will have to wait 1 hour (or whatever time period) otherwise it will think you are just connecting to another service, and therefore it will be counted as just one journey.

Yeah that's what they're doing to stop people from stacking it. Otherwise UNSW students will have 4 trips in one day and pay for only 2 days of travel lol. That's why it's considered a "trip" not a single ride.

Yep, correct.

• A trip is travel on one route, on one mode. When you transfer to another route or service, you are commencing a new trip.
• A journey consists of one or more trips on eligible services where transfers between services occur within 60 minutes*.
• A transfer occurs at the end of a single trip. It is a change of transport mode or route, to another service or route, to continue a journey. Transfers made within a standard transfer time of 60 minutes* combine trips into a single journey.

So unless there is a horrid 1 hour wait at Eddy Ave, going from the train (1 trip) to the bus (+1 trip) is simply 1 journey. So typically, there will be 2 journeys per day.

why don't they just get the Uni's to issue it. Same thing when you get your concession sticker.

 

[brent012]

Because that didn't work, if you unenroled in subjects/became ineligible for concession sticker they wouldnt take it back

I suspect they want to link the opal cards to our student records so they can check eligibility throughout the year/semester.

Same thing would happen to paper tickets. Don't know why you can't just show your concession card to ticket booths. It's just such a fucking stupid level of red tape for no reason at all.
