really? how many days of uni you got? it you only got like 3, then its probably not worth getting the travel pass!!

oh ... then why the fuck wont westbus accept it :| ... could we request to have the sticker on the piece of paper like before cos my bus drivers are idiots and wont accept it

oh oh
soz, dint know you catch private buses..

i cant confirm this yet, but i recall friend sayn u dun get concession on private buses

edit: my bad, you do get concession. you have to fill out a form and they send a small rectangular piece of paper to your house.

go to the student centre, and they should have forms for you to fill out. then you have to send it to the bus company. i hope they are speedy with our cards!

 

[AsyLum]

Yeah but that one is only if you travel to and fro directly!!

i just want the cityrail one paper like before instead of just the sticker

 

[-=«MÄLÅÇhïtÊ»=-]

wat do u mean cityrail paper? like that piece of cardboard u showed ppl to prove u are concession?
if so, that cardboard had a round sticker on it. only that sticker mattered. thats the same sticker u get on ur id card.

sam was also giving out ones on cardboard like high school because some ppl only study for one semester.

 

[AsyLum]

hmm so i can dispute that with the westbus then
cos westbus use that as a form of concession

time to shove it up his ass next time

my friend catches westbus and he uses that concession card u apply for....the one iambored was refering to above. my friend hasnt received his in the mail yet

 

[AsyLum]

hmm ok ill give it a run

might go into depot so i can get it quicker since i only live a few minutes from one

thanks

 

[choco]

can u apply for more than one concession card?

i was just told it takes 3 weeks. so go to the depot if you can. it will save me about $50 to go to a depot

i was wondering that. i don't think you can if it's not somewhere you livce, but if you live close ot the uni and can catch any of 3 bus companies i don't see what will be stopping you.

5 days... just that most of em are 2-3 hours and one is like 5 or 6

 

[*~Dazed~*]

i got my form for the private bus concession thingy today BUT i dont really know how to fill it out..
it looks like you need to get a part of it signed from some uni person to verify your hours you put down that you are at uni are correct..
damn cause i was planning to put down that i have 5 days a week so that i could use my concession to go other places
