Peak early – or late
If it works for you, try to travel outside the peak. Consider grocery shopping after work to delay travel home or visiting the gym before or after work. Adjustment of work hours to skip travel during the peak would need to be approved by a manager, for more information visit: https://staff.mq.edu.au/work/travel/station-upgrade
– Morning peak between 8:00am and 9:30am
– Afternoon peak between 5:00pm and 6:00pm

Do take into account that Station Link service frequency drops outside the AM and PM peak hours. Check your preferred bus route here: https://transportnsw.info/station-link-service-adjustments-30-sep/station-link

There’s an app for that. It’s advisable to trip plan every journey to and from Macquarie University, especially if travelling at different times.

Sharing is caring
It’s good to share your transport tips, tricks and experiences with colleagues who can learn what is working and what to avoid.  Here’s one to remember:

If you’re travelling to Macquarie Park or Macquarie University Stations, use SL4 from St Leonards Station that runs every few minutes in the morning and afternoon peak.
