If you're coming to the University or your acommodation from Sydney Airport, read all about the different options for getting to your final destination.
Train stations are on the lower levels of the domestic and international airport terminals, and are easy to find by following the signs. Buses also depart from both airports. Be aware that some of Sydney’s train stations don’t have lifts (elevators) for your luggage, so this could be a challenge when you get to your destination.
If you're taking public transport straight to Camperdown/Darlington campus from the airport, you'll need to change services along the way as there's no direct bus or train.
If you do decide on public transport, you have some options to pay your fare:
Catching a taxi is more expensive than public transport, but they will be able to take you directly to your door and save you from carrying your luggage too far. Taxi ranks are situated just outside both domestic and international terminals and are easy to find by following the signs.
Sydney has many taxi companies, which you can find through an internet search. Taxis are regulated by the NSW Government, and all taxis must display the fare calculation device and the driver's identity document.
Ride sharing apps (such as Uber, Didi) are popular in Sydney and can be used at the domestic and international airport. Once you exit the airport terminal, follow signs to the ride share pick-up area, as this is where your driver will meet you.
Parking around campus is limited and most spaces are metered, so driving isn't always the best option. Find all the ways:
If you plan to walk, run or cycle to class we've got you covered with end-of-trip facilities like showers, lockers and bike parking.
