off-peak tickets, valid on both Hillside and Bayside for WEEKDAY
travel between 9.30am-4.00pm and after 6.00pm.

This seems pretty stupid, that they are not valid on weekends.

Off-peak zone 1-2-3 daily full fare will now be $5.90
These tickets will be avaliable from the met shop and premium stations
only.

f**king brilliant, now passengers forced to use non-premium stations
will not only have reduced safety and convenience, they will also have
to pay more.

Discount off-peak v/line tickets will also be avaliable.

These discount fares are valid only until early December.  this is
presumably some kind of trial to see if it will increase patronage.
