Studying @ UNSW – a guide from a student (2 Viewers)

are the buses ment to be free? It said in the UNSW pamphlet that 1.7k free buses run every week

uhhh

if so, that's news to me


Could you get the quote in context? As it is now, for the UNSW Express buses, you need to dip your ticket in beforehand.

reading this guide makes me think of what has changed in 11 years at unsw

not much it seems

- OK back to transport. What’s the costs involved with transport?
- The best way to save money if you have to travel by train AND bus is to purchase a TravelPass, which will allow you to travel by train and bus. Just dip your TravelPass into the machine when you get on the bus. See here for more info on this.
- Fares for the 891 and similar buses, one way will cost around $1.30 if you travel on concession (which you are automatically entitled to when you get your student ID card).
- You can also purchase a "TravelTen", which will give you ten one-way trips at a discount ($10.80 for a 5-section brown student TravelTen, so a 32c saving per trip). The best part is that the card never expires. "TravelTens" can be bought at newsagents around UNSW or Central.

needs to be updated with more "UNSW Opal Card Savings Society" references
