Afternoon all!

Can anyone help with this...

how much is an annual season ticket for trains/buses etc (does this exist??)
also, ferries - how much would the commute into CBD cost from say Manly??

Thanks folks!

It depends on where you are travelling from however you will find all the information you need here

Thanks Asher

Glad to be of help, we are in Cronulla, where do you think you will settle? we found the season tickets miles cheaper than the UK where commuting to London cost an arm and a leg! The trains seem a lot more reliable as well

that is the big question at the moment! ideally i would love to leave london (and the Northern line!) and come and live on a beach... mainly because we may come home in a year and at least then i can say i lived the dream for a year!!

having said that, prices may dictate that we cant afford to live quite that dream straight away!! lol

its really weird looking at the link and having to look at another map to work out where these routes actually go thru (born and bred londoner who never struggles to find her way home drunk!!)

all part of the research though so hey ho!!

actually - do you know where i might find a map that shows where stations etc are in relation to road.. like multimap??

asher

no I cant remenber off hand but husband is in Syd has been there nearly 2 years will ask him when he gets up later ok as I'm sure he has this on computer

kunjal and shamir

so are you in the uk??
or are you on BE in the middle of the night?

asher

unfortunately I am stuck in the UK waiting to go, I have my dull little orange sticker but can't go yet

I am usually on BE in the middle of the night anyway

kunjal and shamir

oh i see! so you are living on the other side of the world at the moment

When are you going?

by the way i found a site called cityhobo that looks interesting

www.multimap.com.au

download the ato z on here it's free

It is a long story about why I'm not there. He has been in Oz 18 months now I went over for 3 months but had to come back

city hobo is good too

Kooky.

Hi Kunjal, I've only been in Sydney 3 weeks and have a terrible sense of direction so am getting a lot of use out of Google Maps.

The railway site has the stations on but, like a Tube map, it's had its kinks straightened out and can be a bit misleading.

www.whereis.com.au is also useful.

Before we moved, I also bought a map from the bookstore, as it really helped to see the whole of the city laid out, to get a sense of relative distances.

cityhobo is fun and quite accurate, from what I've seen

Kunjal, I live in Manly and commute to the CBD via public transport. I get a weekly ticket which covers all transport and it costs $43.

haha it would have been clever to check .com.au for multimap!

Thanks

Hi Paadyo... as you can see i am still stuck on wanting to live in manly so am putting my argument together (sorry i mean pros and cons!!)

how are you? your wife still loving Manly life?

paddyo

Yes, we have been exploring and still lots to see in Manly itself, had a nice walk around the cove today and some lovely walks and parks here.
Wife starts her new job on Tuesday so she is very happy, and we pick up our new Nissan X Trail next weekend then we can really explore!
