Well for this week:
Weekly Ticket: $12.50
Travel Ten: $10something
So altogether its around $22.50 but next week it'll be around $19 coz weekly ticket aint worth it esp. since i dont go to city that often.

$17 a week. so that's about $300 a year for travel, which isn't to bad if you earn close to that a week.

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?
I never had a bus pass.

Free parking at Star City? You've got to be joking :p.

Parking at Market City is $9 or $9.50 I think for UTS students all day. That's what the sign days. Parking at Broadway shopping centre is $8.50 for students. There is also the UTS Union carpark for $8.50 as well as another carpark opposite the UTS Union carpark for $10 I think for students.

Besides that, just park somewhere outside of the city and catch the train/bus!
