I don't think you can buy yearly or half-yearly myki passes on Tertiary concession? (they know our semesters are only 12 weeks long!)

oh really? farkkk

[vox nihili]

My somewhat rudimentary understanding is that you need to touch on at every new chance you have (eg. at strain station, then again on tram, etc.), touching off is recommended (eg. for a 2 hour pass) but not necessary. The exception is if you're travelling solely within the CBD free tram zone, in this case you don't have to touch on at all.

Just on touching off, make absolutely certain you do if you touch on at Flinders or Southern Cross. Trains departing there can go all the way out to zone 13 (yes it exists) so you can end up paying a shit tonne if you fail to touch off.

ahh the good old Melbourne uni days taking an awesome and reliable public transport system 45min each way was a blast. Hate them 2 min drives to uni now

After one day all my lectures supposed to be recorded are not showing up in echo except one...Is it just me?

[VCEANON]

Yeah, the recordings are either up in 20 minutes or like 12 hours for me; there is no in between.

[uoiea]

Yeah apparently MIIM went from 0-100 starting from lecture 2.. conveniently the recording still isn't there after 24 hours.

Lecture recordings are somewhat delayed at the moment, but will all be available sometime soon (very vague unfortunately).

anyone know how much a half yearly myki costs (concession)? I cant find anything on the ptv website :/

$760.50 for a 365 (additional days after 325 are free) day, zone 1&2, concession myki pass.

hi, first time using bpay
the reference number is different for each student right? this is how they identify who has paid the money?
so we dont have to include our names in the description or anything weird like that

[Kalopsic]

A bunch of us MIIM20001(ers?) are really starting to get worried that the second lecture hasn't been uploaded to the LMS yet and yes the rumour is true that we were hit hard. If anyone has last years recording can you please send it over.

Oh and Charles is a legend! Anyone else get a Ted Mosby vibe from him (with Ted's hippie day hair)?

Yeah. From memory the reference number starts with your student number. Mine does at least, maybe it has changed.

Temporary technical problems with access to recordings might be why.
