you can pay 10 bucks for a ticket that will get you anywhere on the metro public transport system, for the whole day. that's called a 'daily'

Bee I think we should try and live in the yellow zone.

I guess you need different tickets to go on the blue bits?

no. you can get a daily zone 1&2 ticket, and that gets you around the whole metro area til midnight.

if you just want to travel in the yellow bit, you get just zone 1. you want to travel in the blue bit, you get zone 2. you want to travel between both, you get zone 1&2

Yep, uh... We're going to need a demonstration. Not exactly getting what you mean.

Okay. I live about an hour train ride from the city. So I'll go to my bus stop and buy a daily zone 1 and 2 ticket.

So I'll bus to the station which is still zone 2. Then I'll hop onto the train, because my metcard is for all day, and I can ride all public transport. So I'll then ride the train, and then get off at Flinders Street, and i'll be in the city which is zone 1 (Although zone 1 starts at Camberwell for me)

So then after the train ride, say I need to get lunch and then a tram ride to a friend's house. So I'll go and get lunch and then take a tram ride to a friend's house.

What I'm saying is instead of just being limited to only being able to take a train ride to somewhere and back, where you can't get off if you need to do something short noticed (Like you need to pee badly or something) with a metcard it covers the whole day, instead of a "return" or "one way" ticket.

As I said before, I'm comparing it to Sydney because I don't know much about public transport in Brisbane.

exactly what FZ said. there's none of that 'breaking your journey' crap. you don't travel between stations. you travel within zones.

Yeah what Eru said. If you want to buy a zone 1 & 2 ticket it's a bit more (And a zone 1 ticket by itself is more than a zone 2 ticket by itself) Not that much though.

I'd definitely rather live in Zone 1 than 2, but it'll be a bit harder to find a place. If you do end up having to live in Zone 2 stay away from Pakenham or Frankston lines though. Takes even longer than where I live.

Oh right. Well I don't know anything about Sydney transport either.

In Brisbane (South East Queensland), we have 23 zones in similar circular bands, you state the zones you want to travel in, adult/concession, either peak/off-peak daily or single (singles lasting for around 2 hours).

Alternatively, get a 10 trip saver, weekly, monthly or a crappy go-card.

And travel all PT you want.

So it's more or less similar... just the little details that are a bit different.

Ah, it's pretty much the same deal, just less zones.

Haha, good for you. Haven't you guys only met like once though? Hard to know what it would be like living with someone from one meeting. Still, I hope it goes well. I'll move out some point this year or next, but not quiiiite yet I think.

Hm, I assumed you were the one who went up there at one point (was that Kaitline?), you know, because no one would be stupid enough to move out with someone they have never met before...

I AM Kaitline?
Aren't I?
:?

Well people move in with people they don't know all the time, like finding a room mate and just moving in.
How is it any different?

Are you going to find a place to live first, or just sort of rock up and start looking?
