Shuttles

NUspace Shuttle

The NUspace Shuttle* is a free inter-campus service that runs Monday to Friday from 7:10am – 10:15pm between Callaghan and Newcastle City campuses. The shuttle services NUspace and the surrounding buildings before travelling past the Q Building and stopping at Marketown before making its way back to Callaghan.

The shuttle service runs during semester on a 30-minute frequency. During semester break the shuttle will change to an hourly service. To use the shuttle, all you need to do is tap your student or staff card at the reader when getting on the bus. Wi-Fi is also available for you to use while travelling.

The best way to track the shuttle and access timetable information is through the myUni App. The Shuttles tile in the myUni app will show the current location of the shuttle in real time and you can also see information about connections with other campus shuttles like the station and security shuttles. You can also use the Getting around tile to open up maps to get you where you need to go once you are on campus.

Here are a couple of ways to find information about accessing myUni App as a student or as a staff member.

* The NUspace Shuttle is available for University of Newcastle staff and students only.
