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

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

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

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?
