I think I'll play it safe and take the 393 from central. *sigh* I don't like it when the bus stops for other people

lol 393 is a public bus that will stop for other people

aren't the 372, 373, 376, or 377 also?

 

[D94]

according to google maps; one could take the 372, 373, 376, or 377 from cnr of alison and doncaster

https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/...7a07a0!2m2!1d151.231307!2d-33.91741!3e3?hl=en

That link doesn't seem right...

Look at this one: https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/...27f3efbddd679bc!2m2!1d151.226352!2d-33.903957

Make sure you change the time of day to the morning. But basically, you can take the 339, 372, 374, 376 (which are all public buses) and the 891 depending of the driver, from Eddy Av to the Racecourse.

i was refering from cnr alison & doncanter to UNSW

i was refering from cnr alison & doncanter to UNSW

I don't understand...you were asking from Central to UNSW.

It seems you responded to my 891 comment - what happens is some 891's stop at the Racecourse then continue to UNSW. Some go straight to UNSW. They will always stop at UNSW. You have make sure you get on the right one if you want to stop at the Racecourse.

the bus doesnt actually stop at the actual cnr of alison & doncaster
it stops where D94 pointed out

but yeah to sum it up

891 goes to the racecourse then unsw (ask driver if its stops at racecourse)
For public buses to racecourse you can take 339, 372, 374, 376
and for public buses to unsw you can take 391, 393, 395

Okay I don't trust the 891. The marginal benefit is too risky, and as I am a risk-neutral individual, I will therefore not catch it.

Expected value of gamble on the assumption that half of the 891s stop near the race course = (1/2)(time saved in catching a non-express) - (1/2)(time spent walking from UNSW)
=(1/2)(10) - (1/2)(20)
= -5 utility.

we should get an actuary to calculate the risk of the 891 bus stopping at the racecourse vs UNSW

Can someone take a photo of these tents? Don't go to unsw, so I don't understand how it's done. What if it's raining and stuff?

looks like something a serial killer has set up in his backyard

There is zero risk. Ask the bus driver.

The tents were temporary whilst the Racecourse buildings were being refurbished/built.

This is where we sit our major exams now:

(edit: to avoid trolls, it's inside the building, not on the grass)

and an inside view:

And by tents, they were actually marquees with air conditioning and heating.

ohh i get it now.

I thought that the 891 bus from central will go to the racecourse and terminate there so we have to catch alternative transport from either central or the racecourse.

and for public buses to unsw you can take 391, 393, 395

thanks for that

awww; you dont even do actuary
