I am a year twelve student (last year of school) and I use public transport
to get to school. Every year between the 26th of Jan and the 28th of Feb,
thousands of Melbourne school kids (like myself) purchase a wonderful yearly
ticket, giving unlimited travel in all zones for a year (this costs just
under $300). What I want to know is, what happens this year with the yearly
student tickets? Are they already metcards, or still just paper tickets? If
they are just paper tickets, will they issue metcards halfway through the
year, or will we just go on being "other tickets" holders until they expire
in Feb next year?
Does anyone have any information on this please?
