Re: Tertiary concession cards

["Andrew Box" <boxy@bigpond.net.au>]

Just a note, they are $111, not $155.

Anyway the card pays for itself, i take the train to uni every day, the
ticket costs $3.60 concession, or $7.10 full fare.  So in 37.71 trips, the
card has paid for.  Anyway i hope you know over 60's get zone 1+2+3 daily
for $2.10, along as they have a have a senoirs card, and that costs $0.0,
thanks alot Bracks for changing this.

Regards

Andrew
