yeh i was thinking that... but they should make like a Cabramatta Campus or something... yehhh... that'd be pretty nifty!

yeh i have to catch a bus to Cabramatta or Fairfield, then train to Strathfield, then change lines to Epping, then a bus to Macquarie. Everytime I've gone it has taken me abt 2-2.5 hrs, which means I have to be at the bus stop by 6:30 for my 9am lectures!!! I've never even been awake at 6:30!!!
oh yeh jw... anyone here from Bossley Park??? although i doubt it... damn train strikes... grrrr

and hence i forked out the $118 for parking today

fuel will cost be about $4 a day.

$4 for fuel... plus parking, sometimes it may actually be cheaper to catch a bus, depending how far you live. but driving is better

yeah it does take 2 hours. it might take longer for me since i live further than her!!

looks like i will be getting home at around 10pm on mondays and wednesdays!!

 

[iambored]

that is so long! i would not be bothered to travel that far for uni. in 2/3 hrs you can be in a holiday destination!

 

[jlh]

well i travelled like 2 hours just to get to usyd... macq seems much more of a hassle cuz i gotta change trains and catch a bus...

plus the train is good for catching up on some sleep and listening to music!!

2hrs to syd as well? i suppose you have not much choice then.

 

[dirty dave]

IF YOU CATCH PRIVATE, NOT PUBLIC (CITY) BUSES MAKE SURE YOU GET A FORM TO GET CONCESSION

as i found out the other day when the driver was a fuck to me...

i dont see the big deal! if we have a uni card which has state transit concession sticker on it (which is all we had at high school) then that proves we are entitled to concession so whats the fucken difference....

so where do we get one of these forms? and how long should it take before we get the card or whatever it is

 

[boyboy]

How can you tell if the bus is private or public...because i just catch the ones from Epping to Macquarie Uni???

 

[*~Dazed~*]

they are public... the blue and white state transit ones are public as well as the trains

I would llike to know too Might apply for one of those forms on enrolment day. Do we go to the lincoln building to ask for the concession form for private buses?
