New screens have recently been installed in the Campus Common to help staff and students plan their trips on public buses. Similar to airport departure and arrival screens, the screens display:

  • Buses departing University Avenue stops
  • Destination suburb
  • If a service is running on time, delayed or cancelled.

Macquarie is the first university to provide public bus service details via screens on campus, with Transport for NSW sharing live data for the campus screens  via an open data application..

If the Campus Common screens are well received, consideration will be given to place more in areas with high foot traffic on campus.
