Its also increadible overprices - 4 zones from the city - unless your a F/T
student (and more St Lucia students are P/T now esp with the new Ipswich
Campus) you pay for the 'all zoness' ticket
Forget about the off peak saver, thats $6 instead of $4 on the ferries.
And the service never runs on time anyway.
All this since they privatised the ferries operation, doesn't look good for
when they farm out the bus operations in the next 12 months.
