Ahem. Oops. Though surely the single must be more than that? What's the
point of having a return ticket that is more than thrice the value of the
single? I think you mean $2.40?

The Red TravelPass includes unlimited travel across a vast area on three
modes - STA bus, CityRail and STA ferry. A Red TravelPass and an SLR Weekly
Pass are certainly *NOT* like with like! Rather, for the purpose of a
commuter from Lilyfield to Haymarket who has two choices - one tram trip or
one bus trip each way - the SLR Weekly Pass and a Red TravelTen are 'like
with like' - though the Weekly Pass does have the added value of unlimited
travel along the one tram route within the week, so it can be used for
leisure trips on weekends or on weekdays outside of commuting.
