Free Travel

One of the great things about public transport this year has been the new "10 journeys, then travel free" offer. And this week i've taken great advantage of it.


As the name suggests, only the first 10 journeys in a week are paid for. This week (as well as going to work) i made trips out on Monday and Tuesday nights. So leaving work on Wednesday was my 10th trip.

Today i had free travel. Same goes for Friday. And anywhere i want to go this weekend.

The other great thing about it is that it caps my travel costs. I live in zone 2 of the public transport network (a $3.58 fare during peak time) so the maximum i ever pay in a week is about 35 bucks. Obviously this compares very favourably with the costs of running a car.
