Haven't RoA cards been abolished? There was a bit of a fuss in Canberra
recently as ANU and Uni of Canberra students were in danger of not being 
entitled to concessions in NSW. 

The ACT doesn't have any student concession card as such as ACTION buses
will accept a student ID card.

In the end, Countrylink agreed to accept some sort of endorsement (in the
form of a sticker issued by the institution) on their student ID cards. 

STA sells (for about $15) a card which entitles ACT tertiary students to
concessions on CityRail.
