Between towns up & down the coast you can either travel by bus (try Greyhound & McCaffertys) or on the train (the tilt train is supposed to be good, when it stays on the rails

Forgot about that but I got exempt from the 6 months without any hassle.
The 6 months wait is very easy to bypass you just need a note from your employer saying you need to be able to drive for work or show that the public transport links are not adequate to get you to work on time.
