Upcoming change to service

From the end of Semester 1, this service will no longer operate. The final service will be on Friday 30 May (Week 13).

The Translink 615 bus regularly travels a similar route between campus and the station (including on weekends), with weekday services available between 5am and 10pm. You can view the Route 615 bus timetable on the Translink website. Public transport fares are a 50 cent flat rate across all Translink services. 

While the UniSC shuttle bus was originally designed as a sustainable transport option for students and staff when public transport options were extremely limited, usage has steadily declined in recent years. The introduction of 50 cent fares on the 615 service provides a convenient, low-cost alternative.

 

UniSC Caboolture loop service

The Caboolture Loop Shuttle Service runs between UniSC Caboolture and the Caboolture train station.

The free shuttle service is offered for all UniSC and TAFE students and staff travelling between the campus and train station. The pick-up and drop-off point at the Caboolture station is in the eastern carpark. Show your UniSC or TAFE ID card to access the shuttle bus.

Service Operates from 21 July to 24 October, Monday-Friday, as per below schedule. 

Please note: The service does not run on weekends or public holidays. (Ekka day - Monday 11 August and Kings holiday Monday 6 October)
