Ferries/bus fares?

[cathy99]

Hi i'm hoping someone can help as i'm getting in a right mucking fuddle here!

 

I live west of Sydney, about 40mins from cbd, tomorrow my mum, me and two kiddies are off to manly sea aquarium. I will be catching bus into cbd then ferry to manly, which is fine as have done this a few times, but my dilemma is which ticket do i buy? When i've been before it's been on a sunday so it's just $2.50 each for the funday sunday pass! I've tried looking on various different websites for prices etc and i thought the mymulti2 was what i'd need but have also read i can't use them on manly ferries!!

 

I guess i'm hoping someone who travels alot on public transport may have some advice ~ no worries if not i just thought i'd put it out there. I'm thinking it may be cheaper to drive and pay parking, which i know for 4 hrs is $16!

 

Many thanks :0)

I don't know quite how it works either. If your Mum is over 60, she should have a Seniors Card, which means it costs $2.50 maximum anywhere in Sydney.

 

Then there is a family deal which may be of use to you? Driving may be cheaper, but will it be more or less stressful?
