Do Queenslanders (where I live) go to Melbourne for better stuff? The answer is, yes. Because Melbourne gets everything. Bloody Victorians...

Different places still get different stuff, no matter how big an area may be, and it may just be that what Ruby was looking for on that particular day required a trip to Vale. Which would also be why she went in the school holidays, because it is such a big trip.

Conversely, her father could have paid for the pair to go on a holiday there, which gave Yang an excuse to go off on her search, and Ruby was just hanging out doing her thing. She might have been due to go home in a few days after the robbery, while Yang stays to go to Beacon.
