transport costs (2 Viewers)

[persephone]

someone told me public transport would cost around $1000.

so how much do you spend each day?

yesterday i spent
t-way: 2 x $2.10
train: $4.00
bus: 2 x $1.30

which, if i can add is $10.80

i bought a t-way 10 today, $18.30
train: $4.00
bus: 2 x $1.30

total : $23.60

thank goodness i'm not there every week otherwise i'd need to sell a kidney. remember the days when you had a bus pass? and you only needed to catch one bus?

 

[mizz_smee]

it cost me $8.00 a day
plus petrol to get to the station

$22 for a weekly train ticket (or $20, but $22 covers the odd trip into the city and my arse whenever I get off at central), and around $7.5 on petrol for the weekly trips to and from the station (the bus would be something like $15).

I'll just round that off to $750 for the 26 weeks of regular class.

Monday:
Train to and from the campus. I started this Monday and on the way to the campus (Blacktown) i didn't have a concession card and it was $4.80 for a return ticket.

Tuesday:
Get a lift to the uni with a family friend who starts the same time as me. Come back home by train. I got my concession on Monday and payed $2 to get home by train today.

Thursday:
Depending on the availablity of my friends car, i will go to and from the campus with my friend in his car who starts and finishes at the same time as me.

Friday:
Same as Thursday

trains - weekly $12.50 from my station to lidcombe. if i have to go anywhere else i will pay for it but i dont frequent the city that often
bus 80c x 2 ways x 5days - $8.00 which equals
$20.50

I live on campus so around $0.

25 dollars a week...wollongong to the city

but that covers me for all the train journeys i make between wollongong and my house and work as well, coz i can just show em my weekly...so it works out not too bad...

feel sorry for full fare paying adults...50 dollar weekly tickets!

The prices of these tickets are ridiculous.

20bucks a week, Green concession travelpass. All i need. Bus,Train,Ferry.

and yes i catch the ferry to work sometimes

one of the crappy things of going to uni...transport.
this sem i pay 10.60 for a travel ten which equates to 1.06 per trip to and from the uni at parra. and 3.00 for a day return cityrail ticket to parra. and 5.60 for a day return ticket to penrith.
= 1.06*6 + 3.00*3 + 5.60 = 20.96
last year i bought weekly penrith tickets for 18.50.

I am spending $27 a week on transport. One of those purple travel passes. Since I travel to 3 different campuses an the furthest I go out is to Richmond, it actually works out heaps cheaper and its much more convient.

 

[santaslayer]

Return ticket:$8

Weekly Ticket: $23.50

Bus from station to uni: $0.60cents

 

[jellybeenz]

$20 a week for one of those weekly travel pass things.

 

[mishka]

train costs $5.20 return... 60c bus fare (though i walk when i catch the train),

i've tried driving... got an e-tag thingo so only pay gst (cashback scheme) as well as about $20 in petrol (i'm guessing, seeing as though it's my first week!!)

not too bad, was expecting worse.

a tip: do NOT rely on cityrail to be on time when you want them to be!! it took me 2 hours door-to-door from strathfield to get home yesterday, and this morning i was there in 40 mins (i drove)

 

[smallcattle]

weekly train: $17

that's all..

 

[iamsickofyear12]

$26 a week for train and bus, could be only $22 if I walked instead of getting the bus but I am lazy.

 

[Minai]

mm, $16 a week bus/train/ferry unlimited

good deal, since I use it to go around on weekends as well as unoi
