Which Bus Routes Are the Fastest?

The UniBus network is the backbone of student life here. The 91 and 92 services are your most reliable allies, running frequently from the city centre to both the Singleton and Bay campuses. It is a simple, stress-free system that allows you to catch up on emails or watch the bay go by.

For a more cost-effective year, you should look into the mytravelpass scheme. It typically cuts a significant portion off the fare for anyone under 22, and when paired with a termly pass, it makes the daily commute almost an afterthought.

Can I Cycle From Seren to University?

Cycling along the sweep of the bay is arguably the most beautiful commute in the UK. The path is largely flat and separated from the main road, which is likely a relief for those who want a peaceful start. If you do not have your own wheels, the Santander Cycles scheme is a brilliant local asset. With docking stations at both campuses, you can simply pick up a bike near the city centre and drop it off right outside your department.
