It's a general 'transport' concession. Any transport company that has a 'student' option will use it. It's just that the sticker needs an authority body (cityrail) on it.

If they have a student concession, they do? I've been on Shorelink, the Hills one, and the Forrest one. What didn't accept it?

Westbus wont, Hopkinsons wont.

The stupid sticker will get gradually scracthed off due to photocopying machines. Where do we go for replacement stickers?

Out of interest, I also heard they can replace the entire student card (new photo) for free?

 

[iambored]

What did you all do to your concession sticker? Mine was still blue at the end of the year.

 

[glitterfairy]

Mine is *still* blue :S

On a tangent note, where do we pay (and when is it due?)for concession stickers? I've forgotten :S same thing for wondering where and when to pick up diaries...

 

[bscienceboi]

Arent concession stickers free?

Someone mentioned it on this forum. I think it was at Sam-spot.

Oooh... that'd be right

Do I pick it up from SAM Atrium or SAM spot? Assumingly diaries will be avaliable in the same place as concession tickets... *damns self for not knowing anything*

Concession stickers are free, and you also get the little sticker to go on the bottom that says "2006".

You can get them from the Atrium until the end of the week (go after your orientation day ends at 2), near the SAM diaries. Steve is giving them out so say "hello"!

 

[glitterfairy]

whoo! Will do!

Westbus changed their policy this year, and the regular green cityrail sticket should work with them now afaik.
