But your 1+2+3 Daily in Melbourne entitles you to unlimited transport on all
transport - train, trma and bus. Your $5.60 off-peak return entitles you to
one trip to the city with no break of journey, and one trip back with no
break of journey.
The equivalent Sydney ticket, the DayRover, is $20 peak ond $16 off-peak -
doesn't shape up so well, does it? (And it is not validon tram!)
