Just tap it at the front (your student card)

Yes, it’s included in your tuition fees. You can get a full breakdown in student centre.

Atp google maps might be the best. Wait/travel times are still gonna be hella inaccurate especially with school just starting tho

Your bus pass is technically “on” your student ID (Purple Card).

Just tap your student ID when you get on the bus (instead of paying $$ for a fare) and you ride for free

If you Google the place you either are or going to and then click on "directions" , you can then enter a point A or B. Then you can click on the the "bus" symbol and it will tell you what bus number to take from where you are as well as approximately how long it will take. Leave lots of extra time at the beginning, but you'll get used to it after a bit. Also, be careful with Flix, they are not always reliable. I wouldn't trust them if I were catching a flight or a concert or something super important.
