GETTING TO UNIVERSITY

Public Transport

At Macquarie University, we are very fortunate to have our own Sydney Metro train station at our doorstep and a large network of public buses. A good way to work out your commute is by using Trip Planner or an app such as Google Maps.

Keoride

The NSW Government provides an on-demand transport service, Keoride. If you live in the Keoride service area, its minibus service will pick you up and drop you off at the closest safe space. Bookings can be made 30 minutes before the trip via the app, website https:// www.keoride.com.au/ or call on 1800 536 7433.

Shuttle Bus Service

The University offers a complimentary shuttle bus service around the Campus during semester. It operates on Monday to Friday during semester from 4:00pm to 12.30am, and will transport you to and from Buildings; Campus Common, the train station and student accommodation.

Cycling

The university provides BikeHubs for you to safely store your bicycle. These facilities are accessed with your Campus Card, monitored by security and include secure undercover parking, lockers and showers. For more information, visit the website https://www.mq.edu. au/about/contacts-and-maps/getting-to-macquarie/bike-hubs

Parking

You can drive to university and park in the designated carparks, or try your luck with either street parking or the Macquarie Centre. Carparks on campus operate via licence plate recognition technology, so there is no need for tickets. Payment is made by either:

• Pay-as-you-go parking (PAYG) or;

• Virtual permit (vPermit)

Payg

For PAYG, you register with the provider, CellOpark, online or via the app. When you park on campus, you can use the app to start a parking session and it will charge you an hourly rate, depending on which carpark zone your vehicle is in. When exiting the carpark, go online to end the session: https://www.mq.edu.au/about/locations/ parking/student

Vpermit

If you travel to campus regularly, the vPermit may be the better option. You register and purchase one online at https://vpermit. com.au/mq/Account/Register and there are several options with rates based on different carpark zones. vPermits are available for a maximum of 12 months. Students can purchase one at any time during the year but the expiry date will always be on 31 December.
