Prepaid bus tickets, where do u buy them? (1 Viewer)

[Freakstyler09]

????, I have no Idea since I hardly ever take any buses in sydney b4 and btw I don't want the travel passes since I'm going to uni for 2days a week.

I got mine at the newsagency (next to Hungry Jacks) at Central. I suggest you get a travel 10 though.

So to get to Uni rom Central, what zone pass do you buy?

No idea, I just asked for a return ticket to UNSW and they gave me a brown ticket.

i get mine from central station, after my train arrives at platform 24/25, i go up escalator, thru ticket gates, and there's a small newsagency on the left where i buy my brown travel10's.

or exit central station, instead of crossing eddy ave to get to bus stops, go left, and there's a 7/11 where you can buy bus tickets from.

Most news agencies sell them and you can get them at any city rail as well. Get a Travel ten like kaz1 said if you're only going twice a week.

Yeahh its the 3-5 section brown pass
But if youre going to be at uni 4 or 5 days a week you might want a travelpass, its unlimited tran and bus rides between home and uni
Cos i pay 4.20 for a return train ticket every day and the brown travel ten is 13.20
at uni four days so...16.80 + 10.56= $27.36
Travelpass is 24 dollars
Also useful for just travelling around the city, i have work on other days near uni

what's a travel 10?

 

[harrisony]

what's a travel 10?

Prepaid ticket valid for X sections (X being what ever ticket you buy) 10 trips on it, doesn't expire

 

[Freakstyler09]

ok, just saw it using 'Single Ride' and 'TravelTen' - Sydney Buses. So is it like you can have the ticket as long as you can until ten rides are take up? just to confirm it

1 trip includes return right?

No
Every time you hop on a bus thats 1 trip
eg X -> Y = 1 trip, X <- Y = 1 trip = 2 trips

No

oh ok, wow's that's expensive, especially with train fares, strangely enough I saw this guy with a concession card/student card go on for $1.30 yesterday.....I'm just confused about that, I was pretty sure he bought a return ticket. Must have been an o week speical ftw

 

[shady145]

get them from most convenience stores... like seven 11, newsagents etc

you can buy a blue ticket... its cheaper but it says you have less travel distance... they dnt check anyway, well not that i've seen, and my friend said they dnt check, so if you want you could try that

There is no such thing as a return bus ticket (to the best of my knowledge)
If it was $1.60 he would of got a one way concession 3-5 section (brown ticket)

lol yeh and just pretend to be confused when the ticket guard asks, good plan Although ignorance is not an excuse in the legal system, I hope it works out for me lols.
