Public Transport: Your Eco-Friendly and Budget-Friendly BFF
Public transport is your best bet, folks. It's good for the planet, good for your wallet (because let's face it, those festival burgers ain't cheap), and good for avoiding the post-apocalyptic vibe of a parking lot overflowing with confused drivers. Here's the lowdown:
Train: Aim for Ringwood Station. Listen Out is providing free shuttle buses post-festival to get you back there, so you can party hard without the stress of catching the last train. Top tip: Check out Public Transport Victoria for real-time train schedules and plan your journey like a champ.
Tram/Bus: Not impossible, but it might involve some serious navigating skills and the patience of a saint. If you're feeling adventurous (or extremely strapped for cash), this could be your option. Just make sure you factor in extra travel time and pack some snacks for the journey.
Taxis and Rideshare: The "I Got Money (and I Like Comfort)" Option
Feeling fancy? Don't mind throwing down a few extra bucks? Then a taxi or rideshare might be your jam. Just be prepared for potential surge pricing, especially after the festival ends. Pre-booking your ride back could be a wise move to avoid any post-show meltdowns.
Important Note: Parking at Listen Out is a nightmare. Seriously, don't even think about it. Unless you enjoy the thrill of circling for hours and paying an arm and a leg, just leave your car at home.
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
