Bus

Catching the bus is inexpensive and easy. The Wollongong area is well serviced by a range of free shuttle buses and paid buses. Around 25 per cent of UOW students, staff and visitors travel by bus to the campus everyday. 

The North Gong (NG) Shuttle is a free UOW bus service for staff, students and visitors for travel to and from the North Wollongong Train Station. This service is operated using new, fully electric zero emissions buses.  All UOW buses are low floor wheelchair accessible.

The Gong Shuttle is a free Wollongong shuttle bus service funded by Transport for NSW, Wollongong City Council and UOW.  All buses operating on this service are low floor wheelchair accessible. 

There are also a range of paid buses that operate directly to the Wollongong Campus, or connect to one of the free shuttle buses. Use the Transport for NSW trip planner or the Opal Travel app to plan your journey.
