Nice guide! TIL that macquarie uni has its own station.

 

[T-R-O-L-O-L]

Nice detail nerdasdasd!

 

[Amleops]

Very good idea nerdasdasd.

I have a few things you can add about USYD transport.

USYD

Option B - Catch the bus from central station - railway square exit (Bus routes 412, 413, 435, 436, 437, 438, 440, 461, 480 and M10)
Travel time from central – 5 -6 mins max (all options)

These bus routes can be caught from Stand M at Railway Square. Routes 435 and 437 no longer exist, while 483, L38 and L39 can be added to that list. These can drop you off anywhere on Parramatta Road, on the north side of the Camperdown campus.

The other option (particularly if you need to go to the Darlington campus or southern Camperdown) are any buses from Stand L (422, 423, 426, 428, L28, M30). These can drop you off along City Road, at the midpoint between the two campuses. In most cases this would actually be preferable.

------------------

Also, I'd highly recommend downloading the TripView app on your phone, it's extremely helpful regardless of where in Sydney you need to go.

Id like to make a formal complaint for missing half the unsw buses.

 

[obliviousninja]

There are general public buses as well.

WSU Shuttle Buses also run from Revesby to the Bankstown Campus

>> Kensington
Option A - Catch bus 890, 891, 892 and 895 from the central station
Travel time from Central station ( 20 – 23 min )

Out of those, only the 891 stops at the Eddy Av bus stop (it is a Eddy Av to UNSW as well as a UNSW to Eddy Av bus, stopping on High St at UNSW). The 890 is only a Circular Quay (Alfred St) to UNSW bus; the 895 is only an afternoon bus starting at Anzac Parade heading to Eddy Av; the 892 is the reverse 890 bus, starting at High St heading to Circular Quay (Young St).

There are other public buses that anyone can catch. The above express buses take around 16-18 min travel, and the public buses can take up to 30 min. There is also the M50 metro bus that students regularly catch. Wait time at Eddy Av varies daily, at different times of day, and start of semester.

Yeah... there are so many nitty gritty deets. I can't fit everything on one post

But it's like the important details.... a student cannot catch an 890 or 892 from Central station.
