Hey guys, so I have like 3 days where i finish my last class at 6pm.

The thing is, there's heaps of people crowding around the bus stop to central at that time, and it took me around 40minute to get on my bus.

So just wondering, is an alternate way of getting back to central faster?

Take an M10 bus to town hall instead maybe? They don't run as often, and idk if they run at that time, but I've taken it before to go to town hall instead. Less people take it, but you pretty much always get a seat on the train too. Just an option :)

Have you considered taking a bus that doesn't go to Central but rather Town Hall or Wynyard or Museum?

I took the 895 from ANZAC parade yesterday and it only took 5-10 minutes to get on a bus, try that.

There is M50 near gate 2 which goes to Central quickly.

Yep, by transferring to USYD.

2nded :D

but 40minutes seems a bit excessive, it'll probably reduce over the next week i suspect. unless footy is on or something, then you might be screwed with 25k going to allianz, many from the east

if there is no line the express is easiest. There are also buses that depart from the main library gate (the second stop of the morning express bus) but less regularly.
They really need to get more buses out there

You take the 393 or 395 from near the newsagency thingy on the left - barely no one queues there.

It somehow took me around 20-30 minutes cos the bus took forever to come, and the lines were really long

School hours is worse imo.

There's school zones, heaps of parents, slow school buses and barely any are sent to UNSW (since they are all on school bus duty).
