Back to Journey to Portal =Task 1: What will it cost for my family to travel to the zoo?=

Is it cheaper to drive or to catch public transport?
Assuming Two adults and two children are travelling together and spend six hours at the zoo.


 * Public transport ** in Victoria is currently managed by Metlink and their fares and ticket types are available on their website: [].


 * Travelling by car ** is relatively easy and there is plenty of parking at the zoo.
 * The Melbourne Zoo website has a link ([] ) that can help you find out how to drive to the zoo, but also how far is it from your home/school. This is very useful in calculating how much fuel it took for your journey.
 * The RACV have up to date fuel prices and you can search your postcode to find the cheapest fuel close to your home/school ([|http://www.racv.com.au/petrol prices] ).
 * What is the fuel economy of your car? You need to know the make, model, year of manufacture, fuel type and transmission ([] ).
 * If you travel by car you will have to pay for parking at a rate of $2 per 5 hours for zoo visitors.

We should have used the car park! Picture: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3386/3600718004_bdb7de6eb4.jpg?v=0
