Upgrading Memberships

Adore your Flexi- or Half-Year Pass? Keen to keep coming? It’s easy to upgrade to a full membership, like a pay-by-instalment option. i.e. four Flexi-Passes plus $10 converts to full membership, three Flexi-Passes translate to a tertiary student membership, and one Flexi-Pass plus $20 becomes a Youth membership.
